IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the dryer, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Read all instructions before using the dryer.
  • 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.
  • To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
  • Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, drycleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
  • Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children.
  • Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
  • Do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving.
  • Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
  • Do not tamper with controls.
  • Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
  • Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
  • Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
  • Clean lint screen before or after each load.
  • Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.
  • The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
  • See Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

CYCLE GUIDE

(Use sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings.)

The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The exact cycle times will vary, depending on load size and type.
Settings shown are default settings for that cycle. Once you select a cycle, the default modifiers or the previous set modifiers for that cycle will be shown in the Display LCD. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being dried. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Please refer to garment label instructions for best care.

CYCLE GUIDE – MANUAL CYCLES
TIMED DRY – It will run the dryer for the specified time on the control. Not all cycles and options are available on all models

CYCLE GUIDE – STEAM REFRESH CYCLES (Steam models only)

Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

  • Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more than 1/4 full.
  • Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.
  • Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full. Do not pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.
