Dries unevenly.
[] Seams, pockets, and other similarly 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 lightweight load, such as
one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heaw 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 from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners,
etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This
is normal as the Dryer draws the air from the room, heats it,
pulis it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
[] When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room
completely before using the Dryer.
Shuts off before load is dry
[] Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and
restart the cycle.
[] Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the
dryer.
Lint on clothes
[]
[]
[]
[]
Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With
some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be
necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white
cotton towel)and they should be dried separately from
clothes that are lint trappers(for example, a pair of lack linen
pants)
Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying
Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying
clothes.
Garments s_ill wrinkled after Wrinkle=Care
[] Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
[] Load fewer garments.Load similar-type garments.
Odors remain in clothing after Refresh.
[] Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a
normal cycle.
Water drips from nozzle when Steam=Care starts
[] This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after
a short time.
Sprayed water is not visible during Steam=Care
[] Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed
Clothes are not drying eaSsfactorily, drying times are too
long, or lead istoo hot
[] Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
fire.
[] 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 heaw metal or flexible metal vent. See
"Venting Requirements."
[] Are fabric softener sheets blocking the lint screen grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
[] 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 "Plan Vent
System."
[] Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches {46 cm} above the floor for
a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
