Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Place dryer at least 18 inches above the floor for a garage installation. (46 cm)
Check location where dryer will be installed. Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation (see illustration below). The dryer must not be installed where it can be exposed to water and/or weather. Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45F (at lower temperatures, the dryer may not shut off at the end of automatic cycles and drying times will be extended).

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Check code requirements. Some codes limit or do not permit installation of clothes dryers in garages, closets, mobile homes, or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.
Support: Floor must be sturdy enough to support a total weight of 175 pounds (includes dryer and load weight).

DRYING TIPS

USING FABRIC

DRYER SOFTENERS

Dryer fabric softeners are recommended for reducing static cling. Always follow package instructions carefully. Put one fabric softener sheet on top of the load before starting the dryer. De not add a fabric softener sheet after the drying cycle has started. Instant heat can cause the fabric softener to spot fabrics. Remove fabric softener stains by wetting the stains and rubbing them with liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash. Some fabric softeners can clog the lint screen and slow drying. Use fabric softeners labeled as dryer safe. SAVING ENERGY by fabric weight cycle and type.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove heat-sensitive trim that can be damaged by drying. Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle. Check garments for spots and stains after washing. Do not tumble these items. Heat may permanently left

Sort loads

set stains.
Check pockets before drying. Sharp or metal objects can damage your dryer. Do not lay these objects on your dryer, they can damage the finish. Turn pockets of heavy garments inside out for even drying. Place small items such as baby socks or hankies in laundry bag for easier removal. Articles removed to be ironed while should be still damp.
Use the automatic most loads.

Dry full loads only. Do not overdry. Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet items to a partly dried load, or opening the door unnecessarily. Shorten drying times by exhausting dryer properly and cleaning exhaust vent and outside exhaust hood as needed. Keep the lint screen Use dryer where is above 45R clean. air temperature

CLEANING THELINTSCREEN RemoveintBefore L Every Load
The lint screen is located in the door opening. Remove lint before starting every load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. To clean: STEP 1. Pull the lint screen straight up.

Screen

As Needed
Laundry detergents and fabric softeners can cause a residue buildup on the lint screen. Wash the lint screen with a nylon brush if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup. To wash: STEP 1. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water. STEP 2. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent; scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
STEP 2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Rinse

with hot water.

STEP 4. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel; replace in dryer. CHECKING STEP 3. Push the lint screen into place. IMPORTANT: Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics. Some towels made of synthetic fibers and natural fibers (polyester and cotton blends) may shed more lint than other towels, causing your dryer's lint screen to fill up faster. Be sure to remove lint from the lint screen before and after drying new towels. If lint falls off the screen during removal and into the dryer, periodically check the exhaust hood and remove the accumulated lint (see "Connect Exhaust"). firmly back OBSTRUCTED FOR AIRFLOW
