DRYER CARE
Clean the lint filter
■ After each load.
■ To shorten drying time.
■ To operate more energy efficiently.
NOTE: Do not operate your Dryer without the lint filter in place.
Load the dryer properly
■ Place only one washload in your Dryer at a time.
■ Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry
differently, which may result in lightweight fabrics being dry
while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.
■ Add one or more similar items to your Dryer when only one
or two articles of clothing need drying. This improves the
tumbling action and drying efficiency.
■ Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven
drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.
Getting started
1. Load your Dryer loosely - DO NOT overload.
2 . Close the door.
3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load.
4. Press the Start/Pause button.
5. The Dryer indicator light will illuminate.
6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display. The time
may fluctuate to better indicate drying time remaining in the
cycle.
NOTES:
■ When the cycle is completed, the Door Lock light will go out
and “End” will appear in the display.
■ Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your Dryer.
■ The Drying, Cooling, and Wrinkle Prevent indicator lights will
illuminate during those portions of the cycle.
WARNING: Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it
is running.
Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink, or fabric dye (from new
items such as towels or jeans) with an all purpose cleaner.
Tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or
cleaning substance.
Once these steps are followed, stains may still be visible, but
should not transfer to subsequent loads.
Stainless steel tumbler
To clean the stainless steel tumbler, use a damp cloth with a
mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces.
Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.
Dryer exterior
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Protect the surface from sharp objects.
Dryer exhaust system
Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum
performance.
The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to
ensure proper operation.
'F t
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for
a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Control panel
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre­
treatment soil and stain remover products.
Apply such products away from your Dryer and wipe up any
spills or overspray immediately.
