setting can be used to fluff bedding,

plastic tablecloths, foam rubber pil-

lows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.

hangers or fold them as soon as the

dryer stops.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat setting in HEAVY HIGH and PERMIT

PRESSMED cycles. The last 7 minutes

of each of these cycles gradually

reduces the dryer temperature to a

lower heat setting. This helps prevent

over drying.

See page 6 in your “Dryer Guide”

for more information.

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.

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.

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.

Open the Ird and pull the lint screen ROLL the lint off the icreen

Lint removal

should be removed every 2 to 3 years, or more otten, depending on

dryer usage.
