Do not use an adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death. PNA vo reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety Instructions: PREVENT FIRE + Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. + Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. + Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances pro- duce fire by spontaneous combustion. + Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning. + Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur. PNA - 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 around the opening and in the surrounding area. + Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer. + Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time. + Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer. PROTECT CHILDREN + Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near chil- dren. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. + Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers. + Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels. + Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer's ref- erence. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person. + To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. + ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury. + Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur. + To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the drum. PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRYER + All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts. + Do not tamper with controls. + Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather. + A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated situation (electric dryers only). A service technician must replace the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.

Close zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.

3. Load the dryer and close the door.

+ Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 (Mesh bag not included.) juil Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrin- ing. + 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 im- prove tumbling action.

PNA 0 reduce risk of fire 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 dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards. Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Haz- ardous fumes or electrical shock could occur. INSIDE + Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter. + Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter 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 filter thoroughly and replace.

These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.

Care and Cleaning, con't Le Do not store or place laundry products on top of dryer at any time. They can damage the finish or controls. Common Drying Problems OUTSIDE Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers. If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water. Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label. When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water. Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard un- der the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor. Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association. (Fibers break off, ball up and cling to fabric.) move pills.
