Drying Procedures
• Follow the guidelines below for preparing the load for drying.
• Read the Operating Instructions card for operating your specific model.
• Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product labels.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, read Important
Safety Instructions, page 2, before operating this dryer.
1. Prepare items 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. If an item sheds lint, turn it inside out.
Follow fabric care label instructions.
•
Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish.
Close zippers, fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to
prevent snagging and tangling.
•
•
If possible, turn pockets inside out for even drying.
Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Dryer heat may
permanently set some stains. Repeat stain removal process before drying.
Place small items in a mesh bag to prevent tangling and for easy removal.
•
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer.
•
•
•
•
•
The average load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for
even drying and less wrinkling. Do not overload dryer.
When drying large items, dry only 2 or 3 at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add 2 lint-free towels for better drying, less wrinkling,
and to prevent grease stains caused by fabric softener sheets.
Do not overdry items. Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinkage, harshness, and a
build-up of static electricity, which can produce more lint.
Place small items in a mesh bag.
If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door and select the cycle, temperature, dryness level and options
desired. See Operating Instructions for your specific model information.
5. Press START to begin the cycle.
•
To add or remove items when the dryer is running open the door. The dryer will stop
when the door is opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching
inside.
•
Close the door and press START to resume the cycle.
6. When the cycle ends, remove items immediately and hang or fold.
Features
End of Cycle Signal
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle and periodically during Extra Care at the volume
level selected. (some models)
Drum Light (some models)
Fill dryer drum 1/3 to 1/2 full.
A drum light will come on whenever the door is opened to illuminate the dryer drum during
loading and unloading. Closing the door turns off the light.
Reversible Dryer Door
Your dryer is equipped with a reversible door. The door can be hinged on the right or left side.
Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for directions on changing the door.
Drying Rack (some models)
Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried.
1. Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.
2. Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of the lint screen
opening.
3. Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10 lbs. Leave space
between items, but do not let items hang over the sides or through the grids. Do not
tumble other items when using the drying rack.
4. Select Timed Dry. Use only the Air Fluff/No Heat option for items containing plastic, foam
rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down.
5. When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the lint screen. If lint screen is not in
place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to the dryer.
Place the front bar under
the lip of the lint screen opening.

Care and Cleaning
To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with
the basic warnings listed in Important Safety Instructions, pages 3-4, and those listed
below.
•
•
Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid
electrical shock hazards.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or
electrical shock could occur.
Inside
•
Clean the lint screen after every load. Lint build-up in the screen restricts air flow,
which causes longer drying times. The screen is located at the bottom of the door
opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the screen.
•
Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint screen from using dryer-added
fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy
water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint screen in
place.
Clean lint screen after every load.
•
•
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 [1/2 cup
(120 ml) in 1 quart (.95 liter) 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.
Do not store or place laundry products
on top of dryer at any time. They can
damage the finish or controls.
Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the
front leveling legs to prevent damage to floor.

• Use proper drying temperature.
• Place fabric softener sheet on top of load
before starting the dryer.
Lint
