Important Safety Instructions 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.
• 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.
• 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 stopwhen 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.

service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer's reference. Refer
to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and
reinstalled by a qualified service person.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded
and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe.
Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or injury.
• Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• To prevent injury, do not reach into the dryer if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching
into the drum.

- All repairs and servicing must be performed by an authorized servicer unless specifically recommended in this Owner's
Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.

A service technician must replace the thermal limiter switch after correcting the fault.
• Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
