Theautomaticcycles

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you

prefer for the cbthes being dried.

The automatic DRY-MISERQontrol

is a thermostat that senses the dryer

air temperature. The dryer automati-

cally shuts off when the selected

dryness is reached.

The Cycle Control Knob will not

move until the bad is almost dry or the

Cool-Down portion of the cycle has

been reached. After the Cool-Down

portion is complete, the Cycle Control

Knob automatically moves to an OFF

area and tumbling stops.

Use AUTCMATIC PERMANENT

PRESS to dry permanent press, knits

and other synthetic items. The bad

tumbles without heat during the last 10

minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from

setting in and makes the bad easier to

handle.

For the first few bads, set the Cycle

Control Knob to point to the + in either

automatic cycle. When the dryer stops,

feel the dried items.

If items are drier than you like, use a

setting to the right of the *the next

time you dry a similar bad.

tf items are not as dry as you like,

use a setting to the left of the * the

next time you dry a similar bad.

age, static cling and damage to some

fabrics.
