This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described. Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping. 1. Clean the lint screen before or after each cycle. See �Cleaning the Lint Screen.� 2. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. 3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. 4. Select a temperature setting using the Temp/Fabric selector. The cycle descriptions include temperature setting suggestions.

4. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws or other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent to secure vent. 5. Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check.
