Operating Instructions

Theautomaticcycles

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you prefer

for the clothes being dried.

The electronic DRY-MISER@ control

is an electronic sensor that determines

the amount of moisture in the clothes.

The dryer automatically shuts off when

the proper dryness is reached.

The Cycle Control Knob will not move

until the clothes load 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.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause

shrinkage, static cling and damage to

some fabrics.

TIMEDDRYING

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.

UsingTUMBLEPRESS”

The TUMBLE PRESS setting removes

wrinkles from clothing that has been

packed in a suitcase or closet, and from

items not removed from the dryer at the

end of a cycle.

1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on

TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Press the PERM’T PRESS Tempera-

ture Selector.

3. Push the Start Button.

The load will tumble in heated air for

15 minutes. Then the dryer will tumble

the clothes for 5 more minutes without

heat.

For best results, put only a few items

at a time in this cycle. As soon as the

dryer stops, put the items on hangers or

fold them.

Operating Instructions

Continued

UsingDAMPDRY

Use this setting to dry damp items that

do not require an entire drying cycle, or

to dry items to damp level. (Two exam-

ples are heavy cottons, such as jeans,

which you do not want to become stiff,

or cotton clothes which are easier to

press when damp.)

1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on

DAMP DRY in the TIMED DRYING

cycle.

2. Push the Start Button.

The dryer tumbles the load with heat

for 25 minutes, then without heat for

5 minutes.

End-of-cyclesignal

The dryer sounds a signal to let you

know when the cycle is finished. The

signal can be turned on or off.

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. To use the

Cycle Signal:

Press the Cycle Signal ON pad before

a cycle starts. The ON indicator will

show. The signal will sound when the

cycle is finished.

If no signal is desired, press the Cycle

Signal OFF pad. Make sure the OFF

indicator is showing.

Lintsignal

Clean the lint screen before each

load. If you neglect to clean your lint

screen, a 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 10.

AdditionalDryerFeatures

GentleHeatsystem FINISHGUARD@setting

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.

When you are unable to remove a load

from the dryer as soon as it stops,

wrinkles can form.

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 wrinkles

that set in when the load remains in the

drum.

You don’t have to set the Cycle

Control Knob for FINISH GUARD.

FINISH GUARD takes over automati-

cally to protect the load if you don’t

open the door within 5 minutes after the

PERMANENT PRESS cycle stops.

A signal will sound every 5 minutes

during FINISH GUARD, for up to 40

minutes. The signal will stop when the

dryer door is opened.

CaringForYourDryer

Cleaningthelint screen

The lint screen is located under a lid on top of the dryer. Clean it before each

load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash the

screen. Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into

place and close the lid.
