End-of-cycle signal The dryer sounds a signal to let you know

when the cycle is finished.The signal cannot be

turned off and is not adjustable.

The signal is helpful when you are drying

permanent press, synthetics and other items

that should be taken out as soon as the dryer

stops.

Lint signal

Clean 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.

increase drying time and may be a FIRE HAZARD.

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.
