DRYER USE Starting Your Dryer Before using your dryer, wipe dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping. 1. Load clothes loosely into dryer and close the door. Do not pack dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. 2. Turn Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*) to dry most heavyweight and medium-weight loads. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.” 3. Press PUSH TO START button.
Air Dry Cycle Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load. Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle. Drying tips ■ Follow care label directions when they are available. ■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions. ■ Remove load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling.
DRYER CARE Cleaning the Dryer Location 3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen cover and body with the brush to remove residue buildup. Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 4. Rinse with hot water. 5. Thoroughly dry lint screen body and cover with a clean towel. Replace in dryer.
TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call... Dryer Operation Dryer Results Dryer will not run ■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■ Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material. Lint on load ■ Is the lint screen clogged? Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. Stains on load or drum ■ Was dryer fabric softener properly used? Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.
