DRYERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING - "Risk of Fire"

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
• Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT: The gas installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

The dryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.

Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier.

If a gas leak is detected, follow the "What to do if you smell gas" instructions.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean

1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

1. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not run the dryer if the lint screen is loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
  If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See "Venting Requirements."

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash

1. Roll int off the screen with your fingers.

2. W et both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. W et a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

1. Rinse screen with hot water.
2. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen in dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.

OR

Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye and stains are removed.

1. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
2. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.

Removing Accumulated Lint

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

For additional recommendations, refer to your Installation Instructions.

Dryer Operation

Dryer will not run

■ Is the dryer door firmly closed?

Was the START/PAUSE button firmly pressed?

Large loads may require pressing and holding the Start button for 2-5 seconds.

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Is the correct power supply available?

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician.

Was a regular fuse used?

Use a time-delay fuse.

Unusual sounds

Has the dryer had a period of non-use?

If the dryer hasn't been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.

Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum and front or rear of the dryer?

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.

Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to back and side to side?

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.

Is the clothing knotted or balled up?

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

No heat

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Dryer displaying error message (WET indicator flashing)

WET indicator is flashing:

If the WET indicator on the dryer control panel is flashing, with a pause between flashes, the dryer control has detected a problem that requires service. Call for service.

Dryer Results

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long, or load is too hot

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Has the Air Dry temperature setting been selected?

Select the right temperature for the types of garments being dried. See "Additional Features."

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement?

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Are drying times too long or are clothes too dry?

AUTO DRY default settings may have been changed. See Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings.

Is the exhaust vent the correct length?

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions. See also Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings, if you are unable to shorten the vent length.

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45^ (7^) ?

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45^ (7^)

Is the dryer located in a closet?

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.

Cycle time too short

■ Is the automatic cycle ending early?

The load may not be contacting the moisture sensor strips. Level the dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings.

Lint on load

■ Is the lint screen clogged?

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Stains on load or drum

Was dryer fabric softener properly used?

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

Remove garments promptly to prevent wrinkling.

Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

Odors

Have you recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located?

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings

IMPORTANT: Your dryness level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your AUTO DRY cycles, not just the current cycle/load.

If all your loads on all AUTO DRY cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase the default dryness level. This change will affect all of your AUTO DRY cycles.

There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the WET, DAMP, and COOL DOWN indicators:
