Cycles-EL4030V and GL403OV

Regular cycles

The regular cydes describe the types of bads

they are designed to dry. Each cyde is followed

by a 5 minute ml-down period. During the cool

down, the bad tumbles without heat. This helps

make the bad easier to handle.

Use EX HEAVY to dry items such as bed-

spreads, mattress pads and quilts.

Use HEAVY to dry such kerns as towels, jeans,

corduroys and work clothes.

Use MED to dry items such as sheets, pilbw-

cases, cotton underwear and diapers.

Use LIGHT to dry batistes, organdies and

lingerie.

For the first few bads, set the Cycle Control

Knob to point to a line at a cyde in SPECfAL

DRY. When the dryer stops, feel the drbd items.

l If the items are drier than you like, set the Cycle

Control Knob more to the right the next time

you dry a similar load.

l ff the items are not as dry as you like, set the

Cycle Control Knob more to the left the next

time you dry a similar bad.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static

cling and damage to some fabrics.

The PERMANENT PRESS cycle

The PERMANENT PRESS cycle helps provide

the special care that permanent press and

synthetic fabrics need. The cycle consists of a

timed period of heated drying and a 10 minute

cooldown period. During the cool down, the bad

tumbles without heat. This helps keep wrinkles

from setting and makes the bad easier to handle.

NOTE: To help reduce wrinkling, remove the bad

from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is

important for permanent press, knits and syn-

thetic fabrics.

Cycles=EL503OV, GL503OV, EL6050V and

GL605OV

The automatic cycles

The automatic cydes let you select the degree of

dryness you want. A thermostat senses the air

temperature and automatically shuts the dryer off

when the selected dryness is reached.

Use AUTO-SENSE HEAVY to dry heavy and

mediumweight cotton items. The bad tumbles

without heat during the last 5 minutes. This helps

make the bad easier to handle.

Use AUTO-SENSE PERMANENT PRESS to dry

permanent press, knits and other synthetic items.

The bad tumbfes w&out heat during the last 10

minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from setting in

and makes the bad easier to handle.

For the first few bads, set the Cycle Control

Knob to point to NORMAL DRY in either auto

matb cycle. When the dryer stops, feel the dried

items.

l lf the items are drier than you like, set the Cycle

Control Knob more to the right of NORMAL

DRY the next time you dry a similar bad.

l tf items are not as dry as you like, set the Cycle

Control Knob more to the left of NORMAL DRY

the next time you dry a similar bad.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static

cling and damage to some fabrics.

TIMED DRY

Use the TIMED DRY cycle for any bad you want

to dry by time.

Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the number of

minutes you want from 10 to 60 or 70. The last

5 minutes of this cycle are without heat to help

make the bad easier to handle.

Using WRINKLE FREE

The WRINKLE FREE setting removes wrinkles

from cbthing that has been packed in a suitcaee

or closet. and from items not removed from the

dryer at the end of a cyde.

1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on WRINKLE

FREE.

2. Set the Temperature Selector on KNfTS LOW

or KNfTS DELICATE LOW.

3. Push the Start Button.

The bad will tumble in heated air for 15 minutes.

Then the dryer will tumble the clothes for 5 more

minutes without heat.

For best results, put only a few items at a time

in this cycle. As scbn as the dryer stops, put the

items on hangers or fob them.
