The automatic cycles

The automatic cycles allow you

to select the degree of dryness you

prefer for the clothes being dried.

press, knits and other synthetic

fabrics. The load tumbles wllhout

Timed drying

Use the TIMED DRYING Cycle for

any load you want to dry by time. For

example: small loads, large bulky

items, items to be fluffed or dusted

with the FLUFFAIR heat setting.

Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want-from 10 to 70.

The last 5 minutes of this cycle are

without heat - a cool-down time. This

helps make the load easier to

handle.

Drying tips

The dry& does not heat when the

Control Knob is set on FLUFFAIR. This

setting can be used to fluff bedding,

plastic tablecloths, foam rubber

pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.

1. Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want in FLUFFAIR.

2. Push the STARTButton.

Electronic DRY-MISER@

Control

An electronic sensor determines

the amount of moisture in the

clothes and automatically shuts off

when the proper dryness is reached.

TUMBLE PRESS” Setting

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 PERM’T

PRESS/MED.

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

PERMIT 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.

Drying times Mixed loads

Drying times will vary depending on:

amount of moisture in the clothes.

type and weight of the fabric.

size of the 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.

End-of-cycle signal

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.

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 dtvina time and may be a FIREHAZARD.

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.

Lint removal

Lint can gather inside the dryer and create a FIRE HAZARD. This lint

should be removed at least every 2 to 3 years, or more often, depending

on dryer usage.
