The lost 5 minutes of the HEAT Cycle are without heat. This helps cool

down the load for easier handling and to reduce wrinkling.

Drying times Mixed loads

Drying times will vary depending on:

amount of moisture in the clothes.

type and weight of the fabric.

size of the load.

room temperature around the

dryer.

See your “Dryer Guide”

for more information.

To help reduce wrinkling, take

the load from the dryer as soon

as tumbling stops. This is very

important for permanent press,

knits and other synthetic

fabrics.

When drying a Load with different

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the

cycle suggested for the lightest fab-

rics. When the dryer stops, remove

dry items and reset the control.

DO NOT OVERDRY. Overdrying

can cause shrinkage, static

cling, and can damage some I

fabrics.

Lint screen

Clean the lint screen betore each load. A screen blocked by lint con

increase drying time and may be a FIREHAZARD.

Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out. ROLL the lint off the screen with

your fingers.

DO NOT rinse or wash the screen.

Push the screen firmly back into place.

Lint removal

Lint can gather inside the dryer and create a FIRE HAZARD. This lint

should be removed at least every 2 to 3 years, or more otten, depending

on dryer usage.

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often 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 plugged into a

live circuit with the proper voltage?

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

blown, the dryer may run, but not

heat.

IF DRYING TIME SEEMS LONG:

Is the lint screen clean? See page 6

of this book for cleaning instructions.

“Dryer Guide:’

main fuses or circuit breaker box?
