Operating Instructions

Continued

The automatic cycles

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you prefer

for the clothes being dried.

The automatic DRY-MISER@ control

is a thermostat that senses the dryer

air temperature. The dryer automati-

cally shuts off when the selected

dryness is reached.

The Cycle Control Knob will not

move until the clothes load is almost

dry, or the Cool-Down portion of the

cycle has been reached. After the

Cool-Down portion is complete, the

Cycle Control Knob automatically

moves to an OFF area and tumbling

stops.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause shrink-

age, static cling and damage to some

fabrics.

TIMED DRYING

Use the TIMED DRYING cycle for any

load you want to dry by time.

Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

number of minutes you want from

10 to 70.

The last 5 minutes of this cycle are

without heat to help make the load

easier to handle.

Using FLUFFAIR

Fire Hazard

Do not dry plastic or rubber items

with heat. Use FLUFF AIR setting,

or line dry. Failure to do so could

result in fire or damaged items.

The dryer does not heat when the Cycle

Control Knob is set in FLUFF AIR. This

cycle can be used to fluff or air dry

bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam rubber

pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.

1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

number of minutes you want in

FLUFF AIR.

2. Push the Start Button.

Using TUMBLE PRESS@

The TUMBLE PRESS setting removes

wrinkles from clothing that has been

packed in a suitcase or closet, and from

items not removed from the dryer at the

end of a cycle.

Set the Cycle Control Knob on

TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Set the Temperature Selector on

PERM’T PRESS MED.

3. Push the Start Button.

The load will tumble in heated air for 15

minutes. Then the dryer will tumble the

clothes for 5 more minutes without heat,

For best results, put only a few items

at a time in this cycle. As soon as the

dryer stops, put the items on hangers or

fold them.

Operating Instructions

Continued

‘/

P-

/ ’

End-of-cycle signal

The dryer sounds a signal to let you

know when the cycle is finished. The

signal cannot be turned ofi and is not

adjustable.

The signal is helpful when you are

drying permanent press, synthetic and

other items that should be taken out as

soon as the dryer stops.

AdditionalDryerFeatures

Gentle Heat System

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERM’T PRESS MED. During the last

few minutes of each of these tempera-

ture settings the dryer temperature

gradually reduces to a lower heat

setting. This helps prevent overdrying.

FINISH GUARD@setting

When you are unable to remove a load

from the dryer as soon as it stops,

wrinkles can form.

FINISH GUARD tumbles the load,

without heat, every 5 minutes for up to

40 minutes. This tumbling rearranges

and fluffs the load to help avoid

wrinkles that set in when the load

remains in the drum.

You don’t have to set the Cycle

Control Knob for FINISH GUARD.

FINISH GUARD takes over automati-

cally to protect the load if you don’t

open the door within 5 minutes after

the PERMANENT PRESS cycle stops.

A signal will sound every 5 minutes

during FINISH GUARD, for up to 40

minutes. The signal will stop when the

dryer door is opened.

CaringForYourDryer

Cleaning the lint screen

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.

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.

Cleaning the dryer interior

Electrical Shock and

Personal Injury Hazard

Unplug the power supply cord

or turn off the electrical power

before cleaning the interior.

Make sure the dryer is cool.

Failure to do so could result in

electrical shock or injury.

Fire Hazard

Shut off gas valves on gas

dryers.

Use non-flammable cleaner.

Failure to do so could result in

gas leak or explosion.

Garments which contain unstable

dyes, such as denim blue jeans or

brightly colored cotton items, may

discolor the dryer interior. If the interior

is discolored, clean with one of the

following methods to avoid staining

later load items.
