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 recom-  
mended in this Use and Care Guide or in published  
user-repair instructions that you understand and have  
the skills to carry out.  
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.  
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.  
Do not dry articles that have been previously  
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with  
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,  
or explosive substances 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.  
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.  
Before the dryer is removed from service or dis-  
carded, remove the door to the drying compart-  
ment.  
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 require-  
ments.

3. The exhaust vent can be routed up, down, left, right, or  
straight out the back of the dryer. Space requirements are  
listed in your Installation Instructions.  
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. Refer to your Installation Instructions for more  
information.  
4. Use the straightest path possible when routing the exhaust  
vent. Use the fewest number of elbows and turns. Allow room  
when using elbows or making turns. Bend vent gradually to  
avoid kinking.  
Fire Hazard  
Use a heavy metal vent.  
5. Use duct tape to seal all joints. Do not use screws to secure  
vent. Lint may catch on screws.  
Do not use a plastic vent.  
Do not use a metal foil vent.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in  
death or fire.  
If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be  
covered under the warranty.  
6. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at  
least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new  
location.  
NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for  
by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self-  
installed.  
Disconnect vent from the dryer and clean one section at a  
time until you reach the exhaust hood.  
1. Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4 in. (10.2 cm)  
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.  
To clean out lint, use the hose attachment on your  
vacuum, or a pole or wire with a feather duster or rag  
attached.  
Be sure the flapper on the outside end of vent moves  
freely.  
When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the  
Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final  
product check.  
2. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) exhaust hood. Smaller hoods increase  
drying times.

Drying, Cycle, an d Tem per atu r e Tips  
Automatic cycle(s)  
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.  
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses  
either the electronic ACCUDRY™ system or the Automatic Dry  
control. The control senses the moisture level in the load and  
shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.  
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few  
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.  
Drying tips  
Follow care label directions when they are available.  
On some models  
If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled  
“dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.  
Automatic Dry (High Heat) and Automatic Dry (Low Heat)  
Select the temperature by moving the Cycle Control knob to  
(High Heat) for bigger or heavier loads or (Low Heat) for  
smaller or lighter loads.  
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to  
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent  
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.  
Automatic Dry  
Cycle and temperature tips  
Select the temperature from the temperature selector based  
on the fabrics in your load.  
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic  
Setting ( ), if available on your dryer.  
*
ACCUDRY™ System  
Use a High Heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as  
towels and work clothes.  
Select the temperature from the temperature selector based  
on the fabrics in your load.  
Use a Medium Heat setting for drying medium weight items,  
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and  
some knits.  
After drying a load in any of the Automatic cycles, check the  
dryness.  
Use a Low Heat setting for drying lightweight items such as  
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.  
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less  
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.  
Use a no-heat (air) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-  
sensitive fabrics.  
If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a  
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the next time  
you dry a similar load.  
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.  
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of  
fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying  
time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”  
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.  
Timed Drying cycle(s)  
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 High  
Heat.  
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.  
NOTE: Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items  
are still damp after the Automatic cycle.

Your dryer may have one of the following features:  
Fluff Air cycle or Air Only setting  
Use the Fluff Air cycle, or Air Only setting, for items that require  
drying without heat such as foam, rubber, plastic and heat  
sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to Fluff Air or select  
Air Only on the Temperature selector and set the Cycle Control  
knob to Timed Drying. This chart shows examples of items that  
can be dried using the Fluff Air cycle/Air Only setting.  
WRINKLE SHIELD (automatic)  
The WRINKLE SHIELD feature automatically activates at the  
end of the cycle if you do not open the dryer door within a few  
minutes. The WRINKLE SHIELD feature periodically tumbles  
the load without heat for up to 45 minutes.  
WRINKLE SHIELD (optional)

Drying Rack  
DRYER CARE  
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not  
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry  
(for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys).  
Cleanin g th e Lin t Screen  
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may purchase  
one. For ordering information, please refer to the “Assistance or  
Service” page of this manual. You may also contact the dealer  
from whom you purchased your dryer.  
Every load cleaning  
The lint screen is located on the top of the dryer. Clean it before  
each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.  
To use the drying rack  
To clean  
1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.  
1. Pull the lint screen towards you. Roll lint off the screen with  
your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet  
lint is hard to remove.  
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.  
2. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between  
the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.  
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.  
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.  
3. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle.  
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a  
clothesline or by using an air cycle.  
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.  
4. Push the START button.  
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not  
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.  
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.  
This chart shows examples of items that can be rack-dried and  
the suggested cycle, temperature setting, and drying time. Actual  
drying time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.

Unusual sounds  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Has the dryer had a period of non-use?  
If the dryer hasn’t been used for a while, there may be a  
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.  
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid  
the cost of a service call...  
Is it a gas dryer?  
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.  
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily  
Check the following:  
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?  
Lint on load  
Is the lint screen clogged?  
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.  
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint,  
restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes.  
Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air  
movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust  
system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or  
flexible metal vent. See Installation Instructions.”  
Is the load properly sorted?  
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,  
synthetics). Also sort by color.  
Is the load too big or too heavy?  
Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.  
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy  
metal or flexible metal vent. See Installation Instructions.”  
Was the load overdried?  
Has a fuse blown, or a circuit breaker tripped? Electric dryers  
use 2 household fuses or breakers. The drum may be turning,  
but you may not have heat.  
Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can  
cause lint-attracting static electricity. See Drying, Cycle, and  
Temperature Tips.”  
Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for  
the types of garments being dried. See “Drying, Cycle and  
Temperature Tips.”  
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?  
Clean out pockets before drying.  
Is pilling being mistaken for lint?  
Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and  
laundering.  
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?  
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one  
fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.  
Stains on load or color change  
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below  
45ºF (7ºC)?  
Was dryer fabric softener properly used?  
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.  
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially-dried load can  
stain your garments.  
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above  
45ºF (7ºC).  
Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?  
Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water  
and with items that hold moisture (cottons).  
Were items soiled when placed in the dryer?  
Items should be clean before being dried.  
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?  
Separate the load to tumble freely.  
Were items properly sorted?  
Sort light colors from dark colors. Sort colorfast items from  
noncolorfast items.  
Dryer will not run  
Items shrinking  
Check the following:  
Is the power cord plugged in?  
Was the dryer overloaded?  
Dry smaller loads that will tumble freely.  
Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?  
Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.  
Is the dryer door firmly closed?  
Did the load overdry?  
Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to  
load type. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”  
Was the START button firmly pressed?  
Is a cycle selected?  
12  
 
Loads are wrinkled  
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?  
Was the dryer overloaded?  
Dry smaller loads that will tumble freely.  
Did the load overdry?  
Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to  
load type. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”  
Odors  
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in  
the area where your dryer is located?  
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone  
from the area, re-wash and dry the clothing.  
If the dryer is electric, is it being used for the first time?  
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor  
will be gone after the first cycle.  
If the dryer is gas, there may be a gas leak.  
Turn off the gas supply line, leave your house, and then call  
your local gas company.  
Garment damage  
Check the following:  
Were zippers, snaps, and hooks left open?  
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?  
Were care label instructions followed?  
Were items damaged before drying?
