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.

FINISH GUARD” Setting

When you are unable to unload the

dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can

form.

If you don’t open the door within 5

minutes after the dryer stops, FINISH

GUARD takes over automatically to

protect the load. You don’t have to set

the Control Knob for FINISH GUARD.

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 the

wrinkles that set in when the load

remains in the warm dryer.

1. Set Control Knob to TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Set Temperature Selector to PERM’T

PRESS/ MED.

3. Push START Button.

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 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.

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.
