(Mesh bag not included.)

•  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.

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.

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. 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.

B. 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.

C. 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.

D. 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.
