Important Safety Instructions
This Owner's Guide provides
general operating
instructions for your laundry
center, ft also contains
information about features
for several other models.
Your laundry center may not
have every feature included.
Use the laundry center only
as instructed in this Owner's
Guide.
Note: The instructions
appearing in this Owner's
Guide are not meant to cover
every possible condition and
situation that may occur.
Common sense and caution
must be practiced when
installing, operating and
maintaining any appliance.
Read all instructions before using this laundry center.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this laundry center, comply with the basic warnings listed
below.
[] Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Fire
Do not wash or 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 put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the laundry center. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials
Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may beproduced in ahot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
[r_ To prevent fire, do not use heat to dry items containing plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, or items containing
feathers or down. Use Air Fluff (No Heat) only.
Clean the dryer 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 excessiveamount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and
possible fire. See Care and Cleaning, pages 12-13.
Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.
If your dryer has a drying rack, always replace the lint screen when finished using the drying rack
Keep area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the laundry center
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near laundry center 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 laundry
center.

To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the laundry center
must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local
codes. Installation instructions are packed in the laundry center for the installer's reference. Refer
to INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONSfor detailed grounding procedures. If the laundry center is moved
to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a quaIified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the laundry center, the electrical power
cord of a gas laundry center must be plugged into a properly grounded system. Never ground lJ_e
laundry center to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
Follow package directions when using laundry products. Incorrect usage can
produce poisonous gas--resulting in serious Injury or death.
Do not combine laundry products for use in 1 load unless specified on the label.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar.
To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the laundry center:

recommended in this Owner's Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not install or store the laundry center where it will be exposed to the weather.
ALWAYS disconnect the laundry center from the electrical supply before
attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury.
_i_ Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes
or electrical shock could occur.

Place small items in a mesh bag.
Filldryerdrum 1/3to 1/2 full.
Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.

_To reducethe riskof fire, electricalshock, or injury to persons,read
Important Safetylnstructions, pages2-4, before operating this dryer.
1. Prepare items for drying.
Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.
Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint
from those that attract lint. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside out.

If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying.
Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Dryer heat
may permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal process before
drying.
Placesmall items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling andfor easyremoval.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer.
Theaverageloadwillfill thedrum 1/3to 1/2full. Itemsneedroom to tumble
freely for evendrying and lesswrinkling. Do not overload dryer.
When drying large items, dry only 2or 3 at a time. Fillout the load with small
and medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying, less
wrinkling, and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.
Do not overd ry items. Overd rying can causewrinkling, shrinkage, harshness,
and a build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint.
If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door and set dryer controls (some models).
SeeDryer Operating Instructions cardfor your specific model controls.
5. Turn cycle selector clockwise to the desired setting.
6. Start the dryer.
