During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the water flow. OLLER B. SUSPENSION R RS 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. 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 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. E. 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.

Just turning the cycle selector knob to another selection will not change the cycle. Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried. Cycle Selection, continued Auto Dry Cycles Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars at the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading. 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, select a Timed Dry cycle. Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time. Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry durable fabrics such as jeans and overalls. bedding (on select models) Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry bedding and bulky items such as comforters, blankets, sleeping bags and parkas. towels Select this Auto Dry cycle for towels and bath mats. normal Select this Auto Dry cycle for cotton items. mixed load Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry loads containing a mix of fabrics. casual Select this Auto Dry cycle for cottons and blends with a no-iron finish. delicates Select this Auto Dry cycle for knits and delicate items.

Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur. NSIDE 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. Re- move 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 dry- ing the next load. Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dry- er 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. Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers. If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlo- rine 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. When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water. Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
