• Toshorten drying time.
• Tooperate moreefficiently.
NOTE:
Do not operate the dryer
without the lintfilter in place.
LOADTHEDRYERPROPERLY
By placing only one wash load in the
dryer at a time.
Avoid very small loads or mixing
heavyweight and lightweightclothes.
When only one or two articles need
drying, add a few similar items to
improvetumbling and dryingefficiency.
When drying large, bulky items such
as a blanket or comforter, it may be
necessaryto repositionthe load during
the cycleto ensureevendrying.
ADDAFABRICSOFTENER
SHEET(iFD str D)
• After loadingthe dryer,
• Tocontrol static cling,
• Before the load becomes warm.
This helps prevent greasy-looking
softener stains.
• And remove any used softener
sheets from the dryer to prevent
greasy-lookingsoftenerstains.

CHECK THESE POINTS IFYOUR CLOTHES DRYER...
DOESN'T RUN
• Be surethe door is latched shut.
• Be sure the power cord is plugged
into a liveelectrical outlet.
• Checkthe home's circuitbreakerand
fuses.
• Pressthe STARTbuttonagain if the
door is opened during the cycle.
DOESN'T HEAT
• Checkthe home'scircuit breakerand
fuses.
• Select a heat setting, not air-fluff.
• On a gas dryer, check that the gas
supply ison.
• Cleanthe lint filter and exhaustduct.
• Dryertimer may have movedinto the
cool-clownportion of the cycle.
DOESN'T DRY
• Checkall of the above, plus...
• Be sure the exhaust hood at the out-
sideof the home can openand close
freely.
• Check exhaust system for lint build-
up.Ducting should be inspected and
cleanedannually.
• Use 4" rigid metal exhaustduct.
• Do not overload. 1 Wash load = 1
Dryer load.
, Sort heavy items from lightweight
items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or
comforters may require repositioning
to ensureeven drying.
• Check that the washer is draining
properly to extract adequate water
from the load.
• Clothes load is too small to tumble
properly.Add a few towels.
IS NOISY
• Check the load for objects such as
coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.
Removepromptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas
valve or heating element cycle on
and off during the dryingcycle.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly
asoutlinedin the installationmanual.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed
on the levelinglegs.
• A clicking noise may be the timer
advancing.
• It is normalfor the dryer to hum due
to the high velocity of air moving
through the dryer drum and exhaust
system.
CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES
SLOWLY
• This is normal operation for an
IntelliDry cycle, especially at the
beginningof the cycle.Oncethe load
begins to dry, the control knob will
start to advance. The rate of
advancement will be slow at the
beginning ofthe cycle because there
is more moisture in the load. As the
load becomes more dry, the control
knob willadvance more quickly.
DRIESUNEVENLY
• Seams, pockets and other similar
heavy areas may not be completely
dry when the rest of the load has
reached the selected dryness level.
This is normal. Select the "MORE
DRY"setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a light-
weight load, such as one towel with
sheets, it is possible that the heavy
item will not be completely dry when
the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. Sort heavy
items from lightweight items for best
drying results.
HAS AN ODOR
• Household odors such as from paint-
ing, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter thedryer with the surround-
ing room air. This is normal as the
dryer draws the air from the room,
heats it, pulls it through the tumbler
and exhausts it to the outside. When
these odors arepresent in the air,ven-
tilate the roomcompletelybeforeusing
the dryer.
