Understanding Dryer Safety  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the  
dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:  
Read all instructions before using  
the dryer.  
Do not repair or replace any part of the  
dryer or attempt any servicing unless  
specifically recommended in this Use and  
Care Guide or in published user-repair in-  
structions that you understand and have  
the skills to carry out.  
Do not use fabric softeners or products to  
eliminate static unless recommended by  
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or  
product.  
Do not dry articles that have been previ-  
ously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,  
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning sol-  
vents, other flammable, or explosive sub-  
stances as they give off vapors that could  
ignite or explode.  
Do not allow children to play on or in  
the dryer. Close supervision of children  
is necessary when the dryer is used  
near children.  
Do not use heat to dry articles containing  
foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-  
like materials.  
Before the dryer is removed from service  
or discarded, remove the door to the dry-  
ing compartment.  
Clean lint screen before or after each load.  
Keep area around the exhaust opening  
and adjacent surrounding areas free from  
the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.  
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent  
should be cleaned periodically by qualified  
service personnel.  
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum  
is moving.  
Do not install or store the dryer where  
it will be exposed to the weather.  
See Installation Instructions for grounding  
requirements.  
Do not tamper with controls.

Checking Your Vent  
Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve maximum drying efficiency and shorten  
drying times. Use the minimum recommended installation clearances (found in your Installation  
Instructions) to avoid blocking the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Install your dryer in a well-  
ventilated room where the temperature is always above 45°F (7°C). Also make sure that your dryer  
is leveled. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more information.

back of the dryer. Space  
requirements are listed  
in your Installation  
Instructions.  
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it  
will not be covered under the warranty.  
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting  
will be paid for by the customer, whether it was a paid  
installation or self-installed. For paid installation, call  
the company that installed the vent for  
adjustment.  
1. Do not use plastic vent or flexible metal foil vent.  
Use 4-inch heavy metal  
or flexible metal vent.  
Do not kink or crush  
flexible metal vent. It  
must be completely  
extended to allow  
adequate exhaust air  
to flow. Check vent after  
installation. Refer to  
your Installation  
Instructions for proper  
length requirements of vent.

fabric softener sheets labeled as dryer safe and  
follow package instructions carefully.  
If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions  
have more than one suggested temperature  
setting, choose the lowest setting available on  
your dryer.  
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tum-  
bling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially  
important for permanent press, knits, and syn-  
thetic fabrics.  
The last few minutes of all cycles are without heat  
to make the load cooler to handle.

Automatic cycle  
Your dryer has an Automatic cycle, Sensor Dry.  
Sensor Dry uses an electronic dryness sensor con-  
trol that senses the amount of moisture in the load  
and shuts off the dryer when the selected dryness is  
reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move  
until the load is almost dry. After the cool-down, the  
knob automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling  
stops.  
If the load is not as dry as you like, complete dry-  
ing using the Timed Dry cycle (see next page).  
Select a setting closer to More Dry the next time  
you dry a similar load.  
The Extra Care feature (on some models) protects  
your clothing from wrinkles if you are unable to  
unload the dryer within 5 minutes after tumbling  
stops. The Extra Care feature tumbles the load  
without heat every few minutes up to 45 minutes  
after the cycle ends.  
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Auto-  
matic Setting ( ) in the Sensor Dry cycle.  
*
For any Automatic setting, you can choose any  
temperature setting you want.  
NOTE: If the Extra Care selector is set to Off,  
the Sensor Dry cycle ends after cool-down.  
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting  
closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a  
similar load.  
A signal will sound every few minutes when Extra  
Care is running if the End of Cycle Signal feature  
is set On. The signal and cycle stop when you

Caring for Your Dryer  
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life and help your dryer operate efficiently.  
Cleaning the lint screen  
Every load cleaning  
As needed cleaning  
The lint screen is located under a lid on top of the  
dryer. Clean it before each load. A screen  
blocked by lint can increase drying time.  
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can cause  
a residue buildup on the lint screen. This buildup  
can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or  
cause the dryer to stop before your load is com-  
pletely dry. You may be able to see this buildup, or  
the lint may be falling off the screen because it is  
clogged.  
To clean:  
1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen towards you.  
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six  
months or more frequently if it becomes clogged  
due to a residue buildup.  
Use the following method:  
1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.  
2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid deter-  
gent; scrub lint screen  
with the brush to remove  
residue buildup.  
2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not  
rinse or wash screen to  
remove lint. Wet lint is  
hard to remove.  
3. Rinse screen with hot water.  
4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel;  
replace in dryer.  
3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place and  
close the lid.  
IMPORTANT:  
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,  
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can  
cause overheating and damage to both the dryer  
and fabrics.  
Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural  
fibers (polyester and cotton blends) may shed  
more lint than other towels, causing your dryer’s  
lint screen to fill up faster. Be sure to remove lint  
from the lint screen before and after drying new  
towels.  
If lint falls into chute, double-check exhaust hood  
and clean out lint, if necessary.

Caring for Your Dryer  
Cleaning the dryer interior  
Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as  
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items,  
may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not  
harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of  
clothes. It may be helpful to dry unstable dye items  
inside out to prevent dye transfer.  
wWARNING  
NOTE: Even after cleaning, these stains may  
reappear when similar loads are dried.  
To clean dryer drum:  
Explosion Hazard  
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent  
Use nonflammable cleaner.  
and very warm water.  
Failure to do so can result in death,  
explosion, or fire.  
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.  
OR  
Apply a liquid, non-flammable household cleaner  
to the stained area and rub with a  
soft cloth until all excess dye is  
removed.  
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.  
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry  
drum.  
Removing accumulated lint from inside the  
dryer cabinet  
Lint can gather inside the dryer and be a fuel for fire. Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,  
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

Troubleshooting  
Common dryer problems  
3. No heat  
1. Dryer will not start.  
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the  
supply line? Also, some dryers may  
have an internal gas valve.  
Is the dryer door firmly closed?  
For electric dryers, have you blown a  
fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?  
Electric dryers use 2 household fuses  
or breakers. The drum may be turning  
but you may not have heat.  
Are the controls set in an On position?  
Did you firmly push the Start Button?  
4. Noises  
Does lint screen need to be cleaned  
(lint alert)?  
If the dryer hasn’t been used for awhile,  
there may be a thumping sound during  
the first few minutes of operation.  
Is the power cord plugged in?  
If noises continue, call the Consumer Assistance  
Center.  
5. Odor  
When operating a new dryer, the new electric heating  
element may have an odor.  
Have you blown a fuse or tripped the  
circuit breaker? Electric dryers use  
2 household fuses or breakers.  
Are household chemical odors being  
drawn into dryer? Proper ventilation  
must be used if painting or staining near  
the dryer.  
NOTE: Store and use paints, varnishes, etc. away  
from your dryer whenever possible.  
2. Lint accumulation in hood or exhaust  
vent, or extended drying times.  
Is the lint screen full?  
If you still have problems, see the “Requesting  
Assistance or Service” section on page 19.  
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust  
hood clogged with lint? Refer to the  
“Venting” section on pages 6-7.
