California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act  
This 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 dryer to the outdoors.

Instructions before it is used.  
If you did not receive an  
Installation Instructions sheet  
with your dryer, you can obtain  
one by contacting the service  
location nearest you.  
 Exhausting electric dryers 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.  
 Properly ground to conform

PUNCTURED DUCTWORK  
CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT COL-  
LAPSES OR BECOMES OTHER-  
WISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR  
DURING INSTALLATION.  
Do not wash or dry articles that  
have been cleaned in, washed  
in, soaked in, or spotted with  
combustible or explosive  
substances (such as wax, paint,  
oil, gasoline, degreasers, dry-  
cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.)  
which may ignite or explode. Do  
not add these substances to the  
wash water. Do not use these  
substances around your washer  
and/or dryer during 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

Important Safety Information  
Read all safety information before using  
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.  
Close supervision is necessary  
if this appliance is used by or  
near children. Do not allow  
children to play inside, on,  
or with this appliance or any  
discarded appliance. Dispose  
of discarded appliances and  
shipping or packing materials  
properly. Before discarding a  
dryer, or removing from service,  
remove the door of the dryer  
compartment.  
Keep the area around and  
underneath your appliances  
free from the accumulation  
of combustible materials,  
such as lint, paper, rags,  
chemicals, etc.  
Keep all laundry aids (such  
as detergents, bleaches, fabric  
softeners, etc.) out of the reach  
of children, preferably in a  
locked cabinet. Observe all  
warnings on container labels  
to avoid personal injury.  
The interior of the machine  
and the exhaust duct  
connection inside the dryer  
should be cleaned periodically  
by a qualified individual.  
Never reach into the dryer  
while the drum is moving.  
Before loading, unloading or  
adding clothes, wait until the  
drum has completely stopped.  
Keep the floor around your  
appliances clean and dry to  
reduce the possibility of slipping.  
To minimize the possibility  
of electric shock, unplug this  
appliance from the power supply  
or disconnect the dryer at the  
household distribution panel by  
removing the fuse or switching  
off the circuit breaker before  
attempting any maintenance or  
cleaning (except the removal and  
cleaning of the lint filter).  
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 subse-  
quent dryer uses.  
The laundry process can  
reduce the flame retardancy  
of fabrics. To avoid such a  
result, the garment manufacturer’s  
care instructions should be  
followed very carefully.  
NOTE: Turning the Cycle  
Selector knob to an OFF  
position does NOT  
disconnect the appliance

Loading  
Sorting  
As general rule, if clothes are  
sorted properly for the washer, they  
are sorted properly for the dryer.  
Sort by color  
(Separate colorfast from  
non-colorfast fabrics*)  
Separate lint producers from  
lint collectors  
Lint producers: terry cloth and  
chenille  
Lint collectors: velveteen and  
corduroy  
Whites  
Lights  
Darks  
Separate by fabric type  
Sort by weight  
Heavy Items  
Light Items  
* Non-colorfast fabrics may bleed or fade. Sort by  
individual color.  
Cottons and linens  
Permanent press cottons    
and blends  
Synthetic and poly knits  
Delicates  
Loading Hints  
Avoid drying very small loads.  
Do not dry the following items:  
Sort clothes by weight so you  
won’t have to run an extra cycle  
for one or two heavier, slower  
drying items.  
Fiberglass items  
Woolens  
Rubber coated items  
Plastics  
Items with plastic trim  
Foam-filled items  
Do not add fabric softener sheets  
once the load has become warm.  
This may cause fabric softener  
stains.  
Do not overload. This causes  
inefficient operation and  
unnecessary wrinkling. Clothes  
need to tumble freely.

Helpful Information  
Care & Cleaning  
Interior  
The drum is rust-resistant. However, detergent and water paste or a  
colored fabrics which lose color or mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrub™.  
bleed in the washer may cause dis-  
coloration of the dryer drum. We  
recommend that the dryer drum  
be cleaned with a cloth using a  
Rinse thoroughly. Then tumble-  
dry several wet rags or old towels  
for 20 to 30 minutes before using  
the dryer normally.  
Exterior  
Wipe off any spills or washing  
compounds. Wipe or dust with  
a damp cloth. Try not to strike  
the surface with sharp objects.  
Dryer control panel and finishes  
Apply these pretreatment products  
away from the dryer. The fabric  
may then be washed and dried  
normally. Damage to your dryer  
caused by pretreatment products  
may be damaged by some laundry  is not covered by your warranty.  
pretreatment soil and stain remover  
products if such products are  
sprayed on or have direct contact  
with the dryer.  
Lint Filter  
Before every dryer use, clean the  
lint filter. It is easier to remove  
the lint when your fingers are  
moistened.  
To keep your dryer operating at  
peak performance, be sure to have  
a technician vacuum the lint from  
the machine every three years.  
Storage  
To store your dryer for a short peri-  
od of time, disconnect the power  
supply and clean the lint filter.  
14  
 
Exhaust Duct  
Inspect and clean the dryer  
exhaust ducting at least once  
a year to prevent clogging. A  
partially clogged exhaust can  
lengthen the drying time.  
To clean the exhaust duct follow  
these steps:  
1 Turn off electrical supply by  
disconnecting the plug from  
the wall socket.  
2 Disconnect exhaust duct from  
the dryer.  
3 Vacuum the exhaust duct with  
the hose attachment  
.
4 Reconnect the exhaust duct to  
the dryer.  
Exhaust Hood  
Make sure the inside flaps of the  
exhaust hood move freely (you  
may want to check with a mirror).  
Make sure inside flaps are fully  
open when dryer is operating.  
Make sure there is not wild life  
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting  
inside the exhaust duct or hood.  
Check the inside of the exhaust  
hood with a mirror to rid of debris

If Something Goes Wrong  
Before you call for service  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What to Do  
Dryer Doesnt Start  
Dryer is unplugged  
Make sure the dryer plug is pushed  
completely into the outlet.  
Fuse is blown/circuit  
breaker is tripped  
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker    
box and replace fuse or reset breaker.  
NOTE: Most electric dryers use two breakers.  
Dryer Doesnt Heat  
Fuse is blown/circuit breaker  
is tripped, the dryer may  
tumble but not heat  
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box  
and replace fuse or reset breaker.  
Gas service is off  
Make sure gas shutoff at dryer and main  
shutoff are fully open.  
Dryer Shakes or Makes  
Excessive Noise  
Some shaking/noise is normal.  
Dryer may be sitting unevenly  
Move dryer to an even floorspace, or adjust  
as necessary until even.  
Greasy Spots on Clothes  
Improper use of fabric softener  
Follow directions on fabric softener package.  
Drying dirty items with  
clean ones  
Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Dirty  
items can stain clean items and the dryer.  
Clothes were not completely  
clean  
Sometimes stains which cannot be seen when  
the clothes are wet “appear” after drying. Use  
proper washing procedures before drying.  
Lint on Clothes  
Lint filter is full  
Improper sorting  
Clean lint screen before each load.  
Sort lint producers (like chenille) from  
lint collectors (like corduroy).  
Static electricity can attract lint  
Overloading  
See suggestions in this section under STATIC.  
Separate large loads into smaller ones.  
Empty all pockets before laundering clothes.

Synthetics, permanent press  
and blends can cause static  
Try a fabric softener.  
Clothes Take  
Too Long to Dry  
Improper sorting  
Separate heavy items from light weight items  
(generally, a well-sorted washer load is a  
well-sorted dryer load).  
Large loads of heavy items  
(like beach towels)  
Large, heavy loads contain more moisture  
and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy  
items into smaller loads to speed drying time.  
Controls improperly set  
Match control settings to the load you  
are drying.  
Lint filter is full  
Clean lint filter before every load.  
Improper or obstructed  
ducting  
Check installation instructions for proper  
ducting/venting.  
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks  
and unobstructed.  
Check to see if outside wall damper  
operates easily.  
See the Venting the Dryer section.  
Blown fuses or tripped  
circuit breakers  
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since  
most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure  
both are operating.  
Overloading/  
combining loads  
Do not put more than one washer load in  
the dryer at a time.  
Underloading  
If you are drying only one or two items,  
add a few items to ensure proper tumbling.  
17  
 
If Something Goes Wrong  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What to Do  
Clothes are Wrinkled  
Clothes Shrink  
Overdrying  
Select a shorter drying time.  
Remove items while they still hold a slight  
amount of moisture.  
Letting items sit in dryer  
after cycle ends  
Remove items when cycle ends and fold or  
hang immediately.  
Some fabrics will naturally  
shrink when washed. Others  
can be safely washed, but will  
shrink in the dryer.  
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care  
labels exactly.  
Some items may be pressed back into shape  
after drying.  
If you are concerned about shrinkage in  
a particular item, do not machine wash or  
tumble dry it.  
18  
 
Venting the Dryer  
For the best drying performance  
the dryer needs to be properly  
vented. Carefully follow the details  
on Exhausting in the Installation  
Instructions.  
Use the shortest length possible.  
Use only rigid metal or flexible  
metal 4diameter ductwork  
inside the dryer cabinet or for  
exhausting to the outside.  
Do not crush or collapse.  
Avoid resting the duct on sharp  
objects.  
Do not use plastic or other com-  
bustible ductwork.  
Venting must conform to local  
building codes.
