WO~~T S~ETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before usi~ this appliance.

IMPORTANT

SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking

Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion.

Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryers to the outdoors.

WA~ING—To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your app~ance, fo~ow basic precautions, including the following:

. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Use and Care Book.

This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation

Instructions sheet with your dryer, you can obtain one by contacting the service location nearest you.

—Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in

Installation Instructions.

—Locate where the temperature is above 50°F. (lO°C.) for satisfactory operation of the dryer control system. Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.

–Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power-supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

—Exhausting to the outside is

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Carefully follow the

Exhausting Details in the Instigation

Instructions.

When disconnecting this appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord to avoid damage to the cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and

Care Book or in published userrepair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

To minimize the possibility of a fire hward.

Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby Pts, plastic bags, etc.) as these materials may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materi~, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

. Garments labeled “Dry Away

From Heat” (such as life jackets containing Kapok) must not be put in your dryer.

Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with combustible or explosive substances

(such as wax, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not use or store such substances on/or around your washer andlor dryer during operation.

Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

There are many highly flammable items used in homes such as: acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.

Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room.

DO NOT OPERATE THE

DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT

FILTER IN PLACE.

Q Keep area around and underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

Do not store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic containers, etc. ) on top of the dryer during operation.

Q The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct connection inside the dryer should be cleaned periodically by a qualified individual.

Exhaust duct (see installation instructions). Use only metal duct inside dryer or for exhausting dryer to the outside.

Important Safety Imtructiom

(continued)

To minimize the possibility of injury.

c

Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded apptianc= and shipping or packing materials properly. Before discarding a dryer, or removing from service, remove the door of the drying compartment.

Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury.

Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining glass particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.

The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, the garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very carefully.

Never climb on or stand on the dryer top or door.

Do not tamper with controls.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter). N~E:

Turning the Cycle Selector knob to an OFF position does N~ disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an automatic electric ignition and does not have a pilot light. DO NOT ATTEM~ TO

LIGHT WITH A MA~H. Burns may result from having your hand in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic ignition may turn on.

Dryer-applied fabric softeners or anti-stitic conditioners

You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them. We recommend you use either a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that their product can be safely used in your dryer.

Service or performance problems caused by the use of these products are the responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and are not covered under the warranty of this appliance.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

DRYER WON’T

START

Dryer unplugged. Make sure power cord is plugged in.

s No power to dryer. Check fuses and circuit breakers to make sure dryer is getting current. Most electric dryers use two.

Controls improperly set. Make sure controls are set and START switch is pushed.

Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. Tore-start, close the door and push the START switch.

Dryer door is open. Close door securely—dryer will not run with door open.

c Circuit is overloaded. Do not operate other appliances on the same electrical outlet or circuit while the dryer is operating.

CLOTHES TAKE

TOO LONG ~ DRY

Controls improperly set. Check all controls to make sure they are correctly set for the load you want to dry. See pages 5-7.

Clogged lint filter. Remove and clean filter before every load. Periodically clean area under lint filter with vacuum cleaner. See page 13.

. Improper ducting. Make sure dryer is ducted in accordance with Installation

Instructions.

Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of obstruction; make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexible ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to Installation Instructions.

. Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit breakers.

Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped and the dryer still tumble without heat.

. Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to-dry items with lightweight articles.

Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long time to remove moisture.

c Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

c Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

SHRINKAGE,

GENERAL c Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed by hand and drip dried; others may be safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow Garment

Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or tumble dry.

10

PROBLEM

SHRINKAGE,

KNITS

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

Relaxation shrinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment maybe pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle.

Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is gradually removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for Relaxation S-e above.

Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heatshaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water.

WRINKLING IN

PERMANENT PRESS

AND “NO-IRON”

ITEMS c Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang them immediately.

Q Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar articles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press items, such as work clothes, with lighter Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses. Do not wash or dry

Permanent Press with regular laundry.

Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely. Permanent Press loads should always be smaller than regular loads.. .no more than medium loads.

Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press Wash Cycle which provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrin~ing. Also, use Permanent Press Dry Cycle.

Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium ievel or half full for small load.

Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with plenty of detergent.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

WWNKLING IN

Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If you must use a

PERMANENT PRESS non-phosphate detergent, avoid the use of a high-carbonate detergent.

AND “NO-IRON”

ITEMS (continued) c Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrin~ing.

To remove wrinkles:

Retumble on “Permanent Press” setting.

Rerinse and dry on “Permanent Press” setting.

. If unsuccessful, retumble on normal temperature for 10-12 minutes and hang immediately.

Iron carefully.

. Send to dry cleaners for pressing.

NOTE

:

If you follow

good

laundry procedures and Permanent Press clothes still come out wrin~ed, the finish may not be good quality. Also, in permanent press synthetic/ cotton blends, the cotton portion of the fabric can eventually wear away leaving only the synthetic. Since it’s the cotton portion which is treated for Permanent Press, a loss or decrease of Permanent Press performance will result.
