???Check for colorfastness by testing stain remover prod- ucts on an inside seam.

???Rinse and wash items after stain removal.

For best results

Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be washed.

Drying Procedures

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ???re, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.

1Prepare load for drying.

???Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.

???Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa- rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.

???Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently

set some stains.

??? Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.

??? Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won???t

damage the drum ???nish. Close zip-

pers, button buttons, fasten hooks and

Velcro??-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

2 Check that the lint ???lter is clean and in place.

CAUTION

Do not operate dryer without lint ???lter in place.

3Load the dryer and close the door.

???Load items loosely. The average wet load will ???ll the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.

???If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.

???To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.

???When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized items.

???For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.

NOTE

Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness and a build up of static electricity.

4Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.

???See Dryer Operating Instructions on following pages.

5Start the dryer.

???Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the door open.

???Push in or turn the cycle selector knob or turn any option knob to ???wake??? the dryer. You will hear three beeps to indicate dryer is ready to operate.

???After making your selections, push in the selector knob to start the cycle. You will hear one beep before the drum begins to rotate.

???To add or remove items when the dryer is running, push in the cycle selector knob to pause the cycle and open the door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. You will hear two beeps. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Add or remove the item, close the door and push in the selector knob again, continuing the current cycle.

???To stop a running cycle, push in the cycle selector knob.

NOTE

If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it ???inside out??? to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.

6When the cycle ends, remove items immedi- ately and hang or fold.

IMPORTANT

Clean the lint ???lter after every load.

Drying Cycle Selection

Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle desired.

For best results

Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried.

To change the cycle after it has begun, push in or turn the cycle selector knob to pause the current running cycle. Make the new selection and push in the cycle se- lector knob again to start the new cycle.

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the front of the dryer drum (on certain models) sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to a speci???c dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.

When the load has reached the dryness level, it will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.

normal

Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons, linens and sheets.

heavy duty

Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry durable fabrics such as work wear and overalls.

delicates

Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates.

casual

Select this cycle to dry cottons, blends and permanent press items with a no-iron ???nish.

cotton towels (on select models)

Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-rubber-backed bath mats.

Drying Cycle Selection, continued

Timed Dry Cycles

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

To avoid ???re hazard, do not use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use a Timed Dry cycle and the air dry setting.

quick dry (on select models only)

Select this timed cycle to quickly dry a small load made up of just a few items. It provides approximately 20 minutes of tumbling followed by a cool down period.

refresh (on select models only)

Select refresh to help remove wrinkles from clean and dry items that were not taken from the dryer at the end of the cycle, have been stored in crowded closets or drawers, or unpacked from luggage following a

trip. It provides approximately 10 minutes of tumbling followed by a 5-minute cool down period.

timed dry

To manually select the drying time for any load, turn the knob to a numbered setting: 15 (on select models), 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Moisture sensing bars (if equipped) are not active and dryer will continue to heat throughout the cycle until the ???nal cool down period.

Drying Cycle Settings

Drying Temperature

Select the temperature setting most suitable for each load. To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available with every cycle. If an unavailable temperature setting is selected by the user, the nearest available temperature will be substituted.

The air dry (on select models) setting can be used only in a timed cycle. Air dry setting tumbles the load without heat. Use air dry to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets, or to dust draperies.

Chime (on select models)

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if selected.

Other Features

Drying Rack (some models)

Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried. If your model did not come with a drying rack, you may order one.

Place the front bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.

1.Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.

2.Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.

3.Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 lbs. Leave space between items, but do not let items hang over the sides or through the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the drying rack.

4.Select a timed cycle. If items to be dried contain plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down, then only use the air dry temperature setting.

5.When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the lint screen. If lint screen is not in place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an outdoors exhaust. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint

WARNING

To reduce risk of ???re or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.

???Before cleaning the laundry center interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

???Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

INSIDE DRYER

???Clean the lint ???lter after every load. Lint build-up on the ???lter restricts air ???ow, which causes longer drying times. The ???lter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the ???lter.

???Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint ???lter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the ???lter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint ???lter in place.

???If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.

???Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inef???cient drying and possible ???re hazard.

INSIDE WASHER

???Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.

???Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the underside of the lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is closed.

???Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

???When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.

???The base plate or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.

FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER

???Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach and fabric softener dispenser by pinching at the chamber divider and lifting upward. Also remove the siphon cap (b).
