Dryercyclesandsettings

The PERMANENT PRESS cycle helps

provide the special care that permanent

press and synthetic fabrics need. This

cycle dries with heat followed by a 10

minute cool-down period. See the chart

on page

for suggested time and

temperature settings.

The EX HEAVY HEAVY MEDIUM

and LIGHT cycles describe the loads

they are designed to dry. See chart on

page 4 for load description.

At each setting, the dryer will run

about long enough to dry the load

described by the setting. Example:

The HEAVY cycle is designed to be

long enough to dry a load of heavy

fabrics (towels, jeans, corduroys, etc.)

when the Temperature Selector is set

on PERM’T PRESS HEAVY HIGH.

If the load is not as dry as you want,

set the Cycle Control Knob more to

the left the next time you dry that kind

of load.

If the load is dryer than you want

set the Cycle Control Knob more to the

right the next time you dry that kind

of load.

Cool-downtimes

In all cycles, the heal shuts off before

the dryer stops tumbling. This cool-

down time helps:

keep wrinkles from setting in.

make handling the hot load items

easier.

The PERMANENT PRESS cycle has

10 minutes of cool-down time at the end

of the cycle.

All other cycles have 5 minutes of

cool-down time.

To help reduce wrinkling, take the

load from the dryer as soon as tumbling

stops. This is very important for perma-

nent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause

shrinkage, static cling and damage to

some fabrics.

Lint signal

(models LE5705XP and

LG5706XP only)

Clean the lint screen before each

load. If you neglect to clean your lint

screen, the signal will sound. The

(whistle tone) signal lets you know the

air flow is being restricted. Restricted

air flow reduces drying efficiency.

Turn off the dryer and clean the lint

screen as shown on page 9.

CaringForYourDryer

The lint screen is located under a lid on top of the dryer. Clean it before each

load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

damaged, blocked or missing. Doing so can

cause overheating, damage fabrics and be a

FIRE HAZARD.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash the

screen. Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into

place and close the lid.
