DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer 
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to 
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not 
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. 
Maximum clothing load (cotton fabrics) is 9.1 kg (20 lb).
2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for 
the type of load being dried. 
3. Select a temperature setting on models with a Temp/Fabric 
selector. The cycle descriptions include temperature setting 
suggestions.
NOTE: The temperature selector is part of the Cycle Control 
knob on some models.
4. Select the End of Cycle Signal, if available. The signal is 
helpful when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly 
remove these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to 
prevent wrinkles.
5. Select the desired option. See “Additional Features.”
6. Push the START button. Your gas dryer has an electronic 
ignition system for the burner which is fully automatic; no 
action is needed by the user (there is no pilot light).
NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a cycle ends.
Stopping and Restarting 
You can stop your dryer any time during a cycle.

NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when 
the dryer is not in use.
To restart your dryer
1. Close the door.
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
