Getting Started
This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown
above for reference only. Your model may differ.
To operate your dryer, follow these basic steps:
1.
Check and clean the lint screen. (See page 9.)
2.
Load the dryer. (See page 9.)
3.
Select the desired cycle. (See page 9, pages
10-12 and page 18.)
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds
from your new dryer:
A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The fl ow of
water is controlled by electric solenoids. During
operation there may be a clicking sound as the
valve opens and closes to control the water fl ow.
B. 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 fl at spot on the edge of the
roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer
operates and the fl at spots smooth out.
C. 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.
D. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.) The fl ow 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 fl ow.
