any load you want to dry by time. For

example: small loads, large bulky

hangers or fold them as soon as the

dryer stops.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat setting in HEAVY HIGH and PERM’T

PRESSMED cycles. The last 7 minutes

of each of these cycles gradually

reduces the dryer temperature to a

lower heat setting. Thls helps prevent

over drying.

0 amount of moisture in the clothes.

0 type and weight of the fabric.

size of the load.

dryer temperature selection.

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 forthe 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 How is being restricted. Restricted air flow

reduces drying efficiency

shown on page 9.
