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.

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 ofl 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.

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 lid and pull the lint screen

straiaht 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 every 2 to 3 years, or more otten, depending on

dryer usage.
