Theregularcycles

The names of the regular cycles

describe the types of loads they are

designed to dry. Each cyde ls followed

5 minute cool-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

bedspreads, mattress pads and quilts.

Use HEAVY to dry items such as

towels, jeans, corduroys and work

clothes.

T$;ERMANENT PRESS

The PERMANENT PRESS cycle helps

provide the special care that psrma-

nent press and synthetic fabrfcs need.

The cyde consists of a timed period of

heated drying and a 10 minute cool-

down 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 synthetic fabrii.

due to a residue build-up. Use the

following method:

1. Wet both sides of lint screen with

hot water.

2. Wet

nylon brush with hot water
