The automatic cycles allow you

to select the degree of dryness you

prefer for the clothes being dried.

The Cycle Control Knob will not

move until the clothes load is almost

of the cycle has been reached. After

CCCL-DOWN, the knob automati-

cally moves to an OFF area and

tumbling stops.

of minutes you want-from 10to 70.

The last 10 minutes of this cycle are

without heat - a cool-down time.

Automatic DRY-MISER”

Control

The thermostat senses the air

temperature. The dryer automatically

shuts off when the selected dryness

is reached.

TUMBLE PRESS” Setting

,..,w.

)

The TUMBLE PRESSsetting removes

wrinkles from dry clothing such as

items that may have been packed

in a suitcase, closet, or items not

removed from the dryer.

1. Set Control Knob to TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Set Temperature Selector to PERMIT

PRESQMED.

3. Push STARTButton.

The load will tumble in heated air

for 15 minutes. The heat shuts off and the

dryer continues to tumble the load

for 5 more minutes.

For best results, TUMBLE PRESSonly a

few items at a time. Put them on hang-

ers or fold them as soon as the dryer

stops.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces

the heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERM’T PRESSMED cycles. During

the last few minutes of each of

these cycles the dryer temperature

gradually reduces to a lower heat

setting. This helps prevent

overdrying.

Mixed loads

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.

To reduce wrinkling, take the load

from dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is important for permanent press,

knits and synthetic fabrics.

End-of-cycle signal

Drying times

Drying times will vary depending on:

amount of moisture in the clothes.

type and weight of the fabric.

size of load.

room temperature around the dryer.

temperature of the wash rinse water.

amount of lint in the lint screen.

dryer temperature selection.

See your “Dryer Guide” for more

information.

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 per-

manent 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.

Lint screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can

increase drying time and may be a FIRE

!HAZARD.

straight out. ROLL the lint off the screen with

your fingers.

DO NOT rinse or wash the screen.
