• On a gas dryer, check that the gas sup-

ply is on.

• Cleanthe lint filter and exhaust duct.

cool-down portion of the cycle.

DOESN'T DRY

• Checkall of the above, plus...

• Besure the exhaust hoodat theoutside

of the home can open and close freely.

• Check exhaust system for lint build-up.

Ducting should be inspected and

cleaned annually.

• Use 4" rigid metal exhaust duct.

• Donot overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer

load.

• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

• Large,bulky items like blankets or com-

forters may require repositioning to

ensure even drying.

• Check that the washer is draining prop-

erly to extract adequate water from the

load.

• Clothes load is too small to tumbleprop-

erly.Add a few towels.

IS NOISY

• Check the load for objects such as

coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove

promptly.

• Itis normalto hear the dryer gas valveor

heating element cycle on and off during

the drying cycle.

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as

outlined in the installation manual.

• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on

the leveling legs.

• A clicking noise may be the timer

advancing.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to

the high velocity of air moving through

the dryer drum and exhaust system.

CONTROL KNOB ADVANCES

SLOWLY

• This is normal operation for an IntelIiDry

cycle, especially at the beginning of the

cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the

control knob will start to advance. The

rate of advancement will be stow at the

beginning of the cycle because there is

more moisture in the load. As the load

becomes more dry,the control knob will

advance more quickly.

DRIES UNEVENLY

• Seams, pocketsand other similar heavy

areas may not be completely dry when

the rest of the load has reached the

selected dryness level. This is normal.

Select the "More Dry" setting if desired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a light-

weight load, such as one towel with

sheets, it is possible that the heavy item

will not be completely dry when the rest

of the load has reached the selected

dryness level. Sort heavy items from

lightweight items for best drying results.

HAS AN ODOR

• Householdodors such as from painting,

varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may

enter the dryer with the surrounding

room air. This is normal as the dryer

draws the air from the room, heats it,

pulls it through the tumblerand exhausts

it to the outside. When these odors are

present in the air, ventilate the room

completely before using the dryer.
