IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas
appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete combustion
of natural gas or
LP
fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryers
to the outdoors.
A
Warning—To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Use and Care Book.

—Properly ground to conform with
all
governing codes and ordinances.
Follow details in Installation Instructions.
—Locate where the temperature is above

(lO°C.)
for satisfactory operation of the dryer
control system. Do not install or store the
dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
—Connect to a properly rated, protected
and sized power supply circuit to avoid
electrical overload.
—Exhausting to the outside is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED to prevent large amounts
of moisture and lint from being blown into the
room. Carefully follow the Exhausting Details
in the Installation Instructions.

Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Use and Care Book or
in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.

Installation Instructions.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4“

Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber,
plastic, or similar materials (such as padded
bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs,
baby pants, plastic bags, etc.) as these materials
may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials,
when heated, can under certain circumstances
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
Do not store items that may burn or melt
(such as clothing, paper material, plastics
or plastic containers, etc.) on top of the dryer
during the operation.

Any article on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which contains flammable materials
(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.)
must not be placed in or near the dryer until all
traces of these flammable liquids or solids and
their fumes have been removed. There are many
highly flammable items used in homes such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene,
some household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products
containing petroleum distillates.
Clean the lint filter before each load
to prevent lint accumulation inside
the dryer or in the room. DO NOT
OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT
THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
. Keep the area around and underneath your
appliances free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags,
chemicals, etc.
The interior of the machine and the exhaust
duct connection inside the dryer should be
cleaned periodically by a qualified individual.
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
Never reach into the dryer while the
drum is moving.
Before loading, unloading
or adding clothes, wait until the drum has
completely stopped.
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Skin irritation could result from the remaining
glass particles that may be picked up by clothing
during subsequent dryer uses.

remove the door of the dryer compartment.
Keep all laundry aids (such

Dryer-applied Fabric Softeners or
Anti-stitic Conditioners
You may wish to soften your laundered
fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them.
We recommend you use either a fabric softener
in the wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions for those products, or try a dryer-added
product for which the manufacturer gives written
assurance on the package that their product can be
safely used in your dryer.
Service or performance problems caused by
the use of these products are the responsibility
of the manufacturers of those products and are
not covered under the warranty of this appliance.
SAVE
T~SE
mSTRUCTIONS
Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle
for
one or two heavier, slower-drying items.
Do not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need
to tumble freely.
Use Automatic Drying Cycles whenever possible to help prevent
overdying and to save energy.
To help prevent ironing, use
Perm.

Knits/Delicates
(Low Heat). Remove garments promptly at end of

Sort and Load the Clothes
Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are sorted right for washing, they’re sorted
right for drying. See the How to Sort the Clothes section. If you do mix various types of fabrics in your load, set
the controls for the lighter-weight fabrics and remove when dry. Reset controls for the remaining heavier fabrics.

Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of
obstruction; make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexible
ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to
the Installation Instructions.
Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit
breakers. Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or
tripped and the dryer still tumble without heat.
s
Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles.
Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long
time to remove moisture.
Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine
loads.
Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles,
even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or
washed by hand and drip dried; others may be safely washed but will shrink
in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt,
do not machine wash or tumble dry.
