Dryer cycles and settings

The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle helps

provide the special care that perma-

need...a period of heated drying

followed by a 10 minute cool down.

The chart on page 4 suggests time

and temperature settings for different

kinds of loads.

The EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and

LIGHT cycles describe the loads

they are designed to dry. The chart

on page 4 tells what is meant by

EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and LIGHT

loads.

At each setting, the dryer will run

about long enough to dry the load

described by the setting. Example:

following methods to avoid staining

later load items.

Powdered laundry detergent and

very warm water

Make a paste with detergent and

very warm water. Apply paste to

a soft cloth and scrub area until all

If you need service or assistance, we suggest

you follow these four steps:

Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems offen result

from little things you can find and fix

yourself without tools of any kind.

If your dryer does not run:

Is the power supply cord plugged

into a live circuit with the proper volt-

age?

Is the door closed tightly?

Did you push the STARTButton?

If your dryer does not heat:

The AIR setting is without heat.

The last minutes of heat settings are

without heat.

An electric dryer uses a circuit

breaker or 2 fuses. If one fuse is

blown, the dryer may run, but not

heat.

If drying time seems long:

Is the lint screen clean?

See page 7 of this book and page 6

of your “Dryer Guide:’

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?
