I did not have the manual for a Whirl Pool gas dryer, therefore I purchased it from Owner-manuals. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for the service.
I was so pleased to get the owner`s manuel within one hour! Thanks again.

Defrosting
Appliances without no-frost system In appliances without no-frost system, humidity created during operation of the appliance and when the door is open causes a layer of frost to form inside the freezer compartment. This should be removed periodically using the plastic scraper supplied with the appliance. Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost. A very thick layer of frost inside the freezer compartment increases energy consumption. The appliance must therefore be completely defrosted whenever the layer of frost has reached a thickness of 4 mm, or at least once a year. It is always advisable to perform defrosting when the appliance is empty or when food stocks are low. Warning! Do not use electric heaters or other mechanical or arti�cial means to speed up the defrosting process, other than those recommended in this booklet. Warning! Never touch frozen food with wet hands. The skin could stick to it. � Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a very cool place. � Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew the safety fuses. � Leave the freezer compartment door open. � Insert the plastic scraper into the recess provided under the defrost water channel and place a collecting basin under it (Fig. 18).
Fig. 18 � Once defrosting is completed, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and internal accessories (see section �Cleaning and maintenance�). Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment and close the door. Also, immediately remove any pieces of ice which detach themselves from the walls without waiting for them to melt.
