Operating Instructions

Continued

Theautomatic cycles

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you prefer

for the clothes being dried.

The automatic DRY-MISER@ control

is a thermostat that senses the dryer air

temperature. The dryer automatically

shuts off when the selected dryness is

reached.

The Cycle Control Knob will not move

until the clothes load ISalmost 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 AUTOMATIC REGULAR to dry

heavy and mediumweight cotton items.

The load tumbles without heat during

the last 5 minutes. This helps make the

load easier to handle.

Use AUTOMATIC PERMANENT

PRESS to dry permanent press, knits

and other synthetic items. The load

tumbles without heat during the last 10

minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from

setting in and makes the load easier

to handle.

For the first few loads, set the Cycle

Control Knob to point to the * in either

automatic cycle. When the dryer stops,

feel the dried items.

If items are drter than you like, use a

setting to the right of the * the next

time you dry a similar load.

If items are not as dry as you like, use

a setting to the left of the * the next

time you dry a similar load.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause

shrinkage, static cling and damage to

some fabrics.

TIMEDDRYING

Use the TIMED DRYING cycle for any

load you want to dry by time.

Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

number of minutes you want from

10 to 70.

The last 5 minutes of this cycle are

without heat to help make the load

easier to handle.

UsinaFLUFFAIR

Fire Hazard

Do not dry plastic or rubber items

with heat. Use FLUFF AIR setting,

or line dry. Failure to do so could

result in fire or damaged items.

The dryer does not heat when the Cycle

Control Knob is set in FLUFF AIR. This

cycle can be used to fluff or air dry bed-

ding, plastic tablecloths, foam rubber

pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.

1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to

the number of minutes you want

in FLUFF AIR.

2. Push the Start Button.

End-of-cyclesignal

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, synthetic and

other items that should be taken out

as soon as the dryer stops.

AdditionalDryerFeatures

Usingthe drying rack

(models LE9200XW, LG92OlXW

only)

The drying rack lets you dry items that

you may not want to tumble. The rack

does not move, but the drum turns.

Make sure nothing hangs over the edge

of the rack.

1. Fit rear legs of the rack into indenta-

tions in the back wall of the dryer.

2. Lower the front so the legs rest on

the dryer opening.

3. Put wet items on top of the rack.

Leave space between them so air

can reach all surfaces.

4. Close the door and start the dryer.

See page 9 for suggested cycles

and temperature settings when

using the drying rack.

Drying rack suggestions

Drying time will depend on how much moisture the items hold. The following chart

suggests cycles and temperature settings for different kinds of items that might best

be rack-dried.

TO RACK DRY:

Wool

(Block to shape and lay flat on

the rack.)

NOTE:

The rack must be removed for normal tumble drvina.

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERM’T PRESS. During the last few

minutes of each of these temperature

settings the dryer temperature gradu.

ally reduces to a lower heat setting.

This helps prevent overdrying.
