DRYERCARE
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flararaable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 rata) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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.
_J
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IM PORTANT:
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 lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4.
5.
Rinse screen with hot water.
Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Replace screen
in dryer.
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.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. 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.
8
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 will not run
Is the dryerdoor firmly closed?
Was the Start/Pause button firmly pressed?
Large loads may require pressing and holding the Start/Pause
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.
Unusualsounds
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 code message
"PF" (power failure), check the following:
Was the drying cycle interrupted by a power failure?
Press and Hold to START to restart the dryer.
"F# E#" (F1 El, F3 El, etc.) variable service codes:
If a code beginning with an "F" appears in the display,
alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has detected
a problem that requires service. Call for service.
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 "Air Dry."
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?
Automatic cycle default settings may have been changed. See
Changing the Automatic Cycle 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 Automatic
Cycle 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°F
(7°C)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45°F (7°C).
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 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 Automatic Dry Default
Settings.
Lint on load
Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
10
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?
Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with
water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and synthetic
garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.
Loads are still wrinkled following Steam Cycle?
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
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.
Is water connected to the dryer?
Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet
and dryer's water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is
turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Quick
Refresh for small loads of 1-4 garments. This cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-
free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and
synthetics.
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 Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load.
If all your loads on all Automatic cycles are consistently not as dry
as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase
the default dryness level.
Your default drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different
installations, environmental conditions or personal preference.
There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the time
display:
1. Factory preset dryness level.
2. Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
3. Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
To change the default drying settings:
NOTE: The default settings cannot be changed while the dryer is
running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode to adjust
the default settings.
1. Press and hold the TEMP button for at least 6 seconds. The
dryer will beep, the letters "CF" will flash briefly in the display,
then the current drying mode will be displayed.
2. To select a new drying setting, press the TEMP button again
until the desired drying setting is shown.
NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting
will be lit solid, but the other settings will flash.
3. Press the START/PAUSE button to save the drying setting and
exit to standby mode.
NOTE: To exit without saving, press the POWER button.

Avec ces programmes, une petite quantite d'eau est pulverisee
dans le tambour de la secheuse apres plusieurs minutes de
culbutage avec chaleur. Le temoin lumineux STEAM (vapeur)
s'allume Iorsque I'eau est pulverisee dans le tambour. La
secheuse continuera & effectuer le culbutage &une chaleur elevee
pendant la duree du programme. Les programmes vapeur
comprennent les fonctions Quick Refresh (rafrafchissement
rapide) et Enhanced Touch Up (retouche amelioree). Le reglage de
chaleur et la duree de programme ne sont pas reglables pour le
programme Quick Refresh (rafrafchissement rapide), mais
peuvent etre regles pour le programme Enhanced Touch Up
(retouche amelioree).

Au cours d'un programme minute, le temoin Sensing s'allume
au debut du programme et s'eteint au bout de 5 minutes.
REMARQUE : Des bandes detectrices d'humidite situees dans la
machine mesurent la quantite d'humidite presente dans les
vetements. L'afficheur de la duree restante estimee pourra
s'ajuster pour afficher une duree de sechage plus precise.
Wet (mouill_)
Le temoin Wet s'allume au debut d'un programme automatique si
un article mouille est detecte.
Au cours d'un programme automatique, si un article mouille
n'est pas detecte apres environ 5 minutes, lasecheuse passe
directement a la periode de refroidissement et les temoins Cool
Down et WRINKLE SHIELD TM s'allument, si la fonction est
selectionnee.
Au cours d'un programme minute, les articles mouilles ne sont
pas detectes. La secheuse continuera afonctionner pour la
duree de temps selectionnee et le temoin Wet s'allumera. Le
temoin lumineux Damp (humide) ne s'allumera pas.
Dans les programmes a la vapeur Enhanced Touch Up
(retouche amelioree) et Quick Refresh (rafrafchissement
rapide), le temoin Wet s'allume apres I'aspersion de I'eau dans
le tambour, ce qui represente 4 a 5 minutes pendant le
programme. Le temoin Wet reste allume jusqu'a ce que la
secheuse passe au refroidissement, 1 minute avant la fin du
programme.
Damp Dry Signal (signal de s_chage humide)
Sur certains modeles, on peut selectionner le signal de sechage
humide pour etre averti Iorsque les vetements sont secs a environ
80 %. Cette option est utile Iorsqu'on desire retirer des articles
legers d'une charge mixte pour eviter un sechage excessif ou
retirer des articles partiellement secs necessitant un eventuel
repassage.
Le SIGNAL DE SI_CHAGE HUMIDE est utile Iorsqu'on seche des
draps/du linge de maison dans une charge mixte. Lorsque le
signal s'eteint, ouvrir la porte pour arreter la secheuse, rearranger
la charge a I'interieur de la secheuse, fermer la porte et remettre la
secheuse en marche pour terminer le programme. Rearranger la
charge aide les articles a mieux secher.
