Operating Instructions

Continued

Theautomaticcycles

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you prefer

for the clothes being dried.

The electronic DRY-MISER ®control

is an electronic sensor that determines

the amount of moisture in the clothes.

The dryer automatically shuts off when

the proper 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.

Use AUTOMATIC REGULAR to dry

heavy and mediumweight cotton items.

The load tumbles without heat during

the last 5 minutes. This helps make the

load easier to handle,

Use AUTOMATIC PERMANENT

PRESS to dry permanent press, knits

and other synthetic items. The load

tumbles without heat during the last 10

minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from

setting in and makes the load easier

to handle.

For the first few loads, set the Cycle

Control Knob to point to an _ in either

automatic cycle. When the dryer stops,

feel the dried items.

• If items are drier than you like, use a

setting to the right of the * the next

time you dry a similar load.

•If items are not as dry as you like, use

a setting to the left of the * the next

time you dry a similar load.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause

shrinkage, static cling and damage to

some fabrics.

TIMEDDRYING

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.

UsingFLUFFAIR

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 bed-

ding, 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.

UsingTUMBLEPRESS*

The TUMBLE PRESS setting removes

wrinkles from clothing that has been

packed in asuitcase or closet, and from

items not removed from the dryer at the

end of a cycle.

1. 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

UsingDAMPDRY

Use this setting todry damp items or to

leave wet items damp. (Heavy cottons,

for example, are easier to press when

damp and do not become stiff.)

1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on

DAMP DRY in the TIMED DRYING

cycle.

2. Push the Start Button.

The dryer tumbles the load with heat

for 25 minutes, then without heat for

5 minutes.

End-of-cyclesignal

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, synthetic and

other items that should be taken out

as soon as the dryer stops.

Lintsignal

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 10.

AdditionalDryerFeatures

ElectronicDRY-MISER*

control

The electronic DRY-MISER control is

an electronic sensor that determines

the amount of moisture in the clothes.

The dryer automatically shuts off when

the proper dryness is reached.

GentleHeatSystem

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 set-

ting. This helps prevent overdrying.

FINISHGUARD_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 Con-

trol Knob for FINISH GUARD. FINISH

GUARD takes over automatically to

protect the load if you don't open the

door within 5 minutes after the PERMA-

NENT 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

Cleaningthelintscreen

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.

Cleaningthe dryerinterior

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.
