OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating Your Dryer

(Mesh bag not included.)

Normal Operating Sounds

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.

1 Prepare load for drying.

• 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
