Getting Started
To operate your dryer, follow these basic steps:
1.Check and clean the lint filter. (See page 8.)
2.Load the dryer. (See page 8.)
3.Select the desired cycle. (See page 9, pages
4.Select desired settings and options. (See page 9, page 17, page 18, and pages
5.Start the dryer. (See page 10.)
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer:
A.WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The flow of water is controlled by electric solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the water flow.
B.SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling
sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating
a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and the flat spots smooth out.
C.PERFECT TUMBLE??? When the reversing- action option of perfect tumble??? is selected, you will hear the intermittent sound of the dryer stopping, momentarily pausing, then restarting in the opposite direction.
D.AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.
E.GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The flow of gas is controlled by electric solenoids. During operation

there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the gas flow.
F.GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the burner is operating, there may be sounds generated as the air flow mixes with the gas flame. This noise is normal and will only occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.
Operating Your Dryer
BEFORE USING YOUR DRYER
Read the important instructions in this section of the
Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER 1. Prepare load for drying.
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con- struction in the same load.
Separate dark items from
Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
(Mesh bag not included.)
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 heat- proof and won???t damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and
2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.
A clean lint filter allows the dryer to operate more efficiently.
3. Load the dryer and close the door.
Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill 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.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER, con???t
4.Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.
NOTE
Overdrying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness and a build up of static electricity.
Turn the cycle selector knob in either direc- tion to select the cycle desired. The icon for that cycle will be illuminated and if the cycle description feature is turned on, the cycle and estimated cycle time are displayed on the User Interface screen for 5 seconds. Press any key to advance the User Interface to select set- tings and options. See the ???Cycle Selection??? section in this guide for descriptions of each cycle.
If no buttons are pressed, the User Interface screen will automatically advance after 5 sec- onds and display the preset drying tempera- ture, dryness level (Auto Dry) or drying time (Time Dry), extended tumble time, and options for the cycle selected will be displayed. See the ???Cycle Settings Chart??? in this guide for set- tings available for each cycle.
To change the settings, press the temp, dry- ness level (Auto Dry) or drying time (Time Dry) and extended tumble buttons to scroll to the desired settings. Press the scroll up or scroll down buttons under options to scroll through the options menu. Press the select button to add or delete options. The estimated cycle time will be displayed at the top of the screens.
NOTE

OPERATING YOUR DRYER, con???t 5. Start the cycle.
Close the door and press start to begin the cycle. The dryer will not operate with the door open. To interrupt the cycle, press pause or simply open the door. Press start again to re- sume the cycle. Press cancel to stop the cycle.

IMPORTANT
Clean the lint filter after every load. CLEAN FILTER will be displayed at the end of the cycle to remind you to remove lint from the filter.
Operating Instructions 11
Cycle Selection
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle desired. The icon for that cycle will be illumi- nated. Press on the cycle selector knob to extend it or return it flush to the console.
For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the cycle selector knob to another selec- tion will not change the cycle.
AUTO DRY CYCLES
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of select- ing the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars at the back of the dryer drum 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 the desired dryness level.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble, unheated, during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and damp- ness 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 oc- curs, then select the time dry cycle to dry such loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installa- tion and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.
