(Mesh bag not included.)

To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury to 

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.

•  Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction 

in the same load.

•  Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa-

rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.

•  Check for stains which may not have been removed 

in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash 

again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently 

set some stains.

•  Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.

•  Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof 

and won’t damage the drum fi nish. Close zippers; 

fasten hooks and Velcro

®

-like fasteners. Tie strings 

and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.

Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear 

squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual 

noises. This could be a sign of mechanical 

breakdown and lead to fi re or serious injury. 

Contact a qualifi ed technician immediately.

You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new 

dryer:
A. WATER VALVE (Steam models only.) The fl ow of water is 

controlled by electric solenoids. During operation there may 

be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control 

the water fl ow.

B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS 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 fl at spot on the edge of the 

roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and 

the fl at 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 fl ow 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 fl ow.

E. GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the burner is 

operating, there may be sounds generated as the air fl ow 

mixes with the gas fl ame. This noise is normal and will only 

occur when the gas is ignited in the combustion tube.
