OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Normal Operating Sounds

Device Parts

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer:

  1. SUSPENSION ROLLERS
    The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and the flat spots smooth out.
  2. AIR FLOW SYSTEM
    Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.
  3. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.)
    The flow of gas is controlled by electric solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the gas flow.
  4. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.)
    When the burner is operating, there may be sounds generated as the air flow mixes with the gas flame. This noise is normal and will only occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.


Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Operating Your Device

burn hazardburn hazard
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.

  1. Prepare load 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.
    • Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains.
    • Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
    • Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers, button buttons, fasten hooks and Velcro-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
  2. Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.
    Checking the lint filter purity


Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place.

  1. Load the dryer and close the door.
    • Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
    • If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
    • To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
    • When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized items.
    • For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.
  2. Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.
    • See Dryer Operating Instructions on following pages.
  3. Start the dryer.
    • Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the door open.
    • Press the POWER button to turn on the unit.
    • Turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to the desired cycle. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated. See the "Cycle Selection" section in this guide for descriptions of each cycle.
    • The estimated cycle time, preset drying temperature, dryness level, and options for each cycle will be indicated for the cycle displayed. See the "Cycle Settings" and "Dryer Settings Chart" in this guide for descriptions and available settings for each cycle.
    • To change the settings, press the Temp and Dryness buttons to scroll to the desired settings.
    • To select or deselect an option, press the button for that option. The indicator will be illuminated when the option has been selected. The indicator will no longer be lighted when the option has been deselected.
    • After making your selections, press START to begin the cycle.
    • To add or remove items when the dryer is running, press the Pause button to pause the cycle and open the door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Add or remove the item, close the door and push the START button again, continuing the current cycle.
    • To cancel a running cycle, press the POWER button.
    • A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime option has been selected.

SELECTING THE RIGHT CYCLE TO SAVE ENERGY
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy and at the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat save the most energy. Use the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and lowest dryness level (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing.

For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried.

Press the POWER button to turn on the unit. Turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll through the cycles.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the POWER button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the cycle selector will not change the cycle.

Sensor Dry Cycles

Sensor Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the front of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Sensor Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level.

Sensor Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble, unheated, during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.

information NOTE
Initial cycle times for Sensor Dry cycles are only estimates. Actual drying time may be longer or shorter than displayed time.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this occurs, then select the Time Dry cycle to dry such loads.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.

Normal
Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons, linens and sheets.

Delicates
Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates.

Active Wear

burn hazardburn hazard
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in the Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.


  • Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
  • shock hazard Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

INSIDE

  • Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.
  • Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
  • If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.

  • Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.

OUTSIDE

  • Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
  • If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
  • Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.
  • Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
