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.  
Before the dryer is removed from service or  
discarded, remove the doors to the drying  
compartment.  
Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. A  
door switch is fitted for your safety.  
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be  
exposed to the weather.  
Do not tamper with controls.  
Do not continue to use this appliance if it appears to  
Gas dryers should only be installed in a room if the  
room meets the appropriate ventilation requirements  
specified in the national installation regulations. Make  
sure the room containing the dryer has an adequate  
air supply for gas combustion and/or drying  
operation. A window or equivalent means of  
ventilation must be opened in the room when the  
dryer is in use (an equivalent form of opening  
includes an adjustable louvre, hinged panel, or  
other means of ventilation that opens directly to  
outside air).  
be faulty.  
Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or  
attempt any maintenance unless specifically  
recommended in this Use and Care Guide. Repairs  
and servicing should only be carried out by  
competent service personnel.  
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate  
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of  
the fabric softener or product.  
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam  
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.  
Always use the cool-down period at end of drying  
cycle to avoid a heat build-up in stored clothes.  
Keep a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 in.) between  
the rear of the dryer and any wall.  
The operation of this appliance may affect the  
operation of other types of gas appliances which take  
their air supply for safe combustion from the same  
room. There has to be adequate ventilation to replace  
exhausted air and thus avoid the back-flow of gases  
into the room from appliances burning other fuels,  
including open fires, when operating the tumble  
dryer. If in doubt, consult the appliance  
manufacturers.  
Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load. Do  
not operate dryer without lint screen in place.  
Do not obstruct the air supply to the dryer (see  
Installation Instructions for minimum clearances).  
Keep area around the exhaust and inlet openings  
and adjacent surrounding areas free from the  
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.  
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your  
dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may  
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a  
load to catch fire.  
The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be  
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.  
See Installation Instructions for earthing instructions.  
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by  
the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly  
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.  
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned  
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,  
dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, or other  
flammable, or explosive substances as they give off  
vapours 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.

3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for  
the type of load being dried. See Drying, Cycle and  
Temperature Tips.”  
Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic or heat-sensitive  
fabrics.  
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.  
4. Select a temperature setting on models with a temperature  
selector. The cycle descriptions include temperature setting  
suggestions.  
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for  
various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure  
of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting  
rather than a higher setting.  
NOTE: The temperature selector is part of the Cycle Control  
knob on some models.  
5. Select the End of Cycle Signal, if available. The signal is  
helpful when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly  
remove these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to  
prevent wrinkles.  
Cycle Descriptions  
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary  
from the model shown, and may not have all of the cycles and  
features described.  
6. Select Wrinkle Guard, if available.  
7. Press PUSH TO START. Your gas dryer has an electronic  
ignition system for the burner which is fully automatic; no  
action is needed by the user (there is no pilot light).  
NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a cycle ends.  
How Automatic Drying Works  
During the Auto Dry Cycle, the exhaust temperature of the dryer  
determines the drying time and dryness levels. A thermostat  
signals the Cycle Control Knob when to move into Cool Down.  
The drying time for an Auto Dry Cycle depends on load type and  
load size. When drying a large or heavy load, the Cycle Control  
Knob may take a long time before it begins to advance into Cool  
Down. The Auto Dry Cycle takes the guesswork out of drying  
time and enhances fabric care. The amount of time that is  
displayed is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.  
Cycle Control knob  
Auto Dry cycle  
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a  
control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off  
when the load reaches the selected dryness.  
Stopping and Restarting  
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.  
Select the temperature from the temperature selector based  
on the fabrics in your load.  
To stop your dryer  
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.  
After drying a load, check the dryness.  
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when  
the dryer is not in use.  
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to  
Delicates the next time you dry a similar load.  
To restart your dryer  
1. Close the door.  
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).  
3. Press PUSH TO START.  
If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a  
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Heavy the next time  
you dry a similar load.  
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of  
fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying  
time. See Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”  
Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips  
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.  
Timed Drying cycle(s)  
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few  
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.  
Use Timed Drying for heavyweight and bulky items, such as  
bedspreads and work clothes or large loads that require a long  
drying time. Set the temperature selector, if available, to Hot (or  
High) Heat.  
Drying tips  
Follow care label directions when they are available.  
On some models, you may use the Timed Drying cycle for  
lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the temperature  
selector, if available, based on the fabrics in your load.  
If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package  
instructions.  
To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon  
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent  
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.  
NOTE: Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items  
are still damp after the Automatic cycle.  
Cycle and temperature tips  
Use a Hot (or High) Heat setting for drying heavyweight items  
such as towels and work clothes.  
Use a Medium Heat setting for drying medium weight items  
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics and  
some knits.  
Use a Low Heat setting for drying lightweight items such as  
lingerie, blouses, dresses and some knits.
