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 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.

Timed drying

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.

Drying plastic or rubber items

with heat may damage the items

or be a FIRE HAZARD. I

UsingFLUFFAIR

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.

- UsingDAMPDRY

This setting should be used for damp

items that do not require an entire

drying cycle.

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

‘5

’ ,\-

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.

Lint signal

Clean the 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 10.

AdditionalDryerFeatures

GentleHeatSystem

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERM’T PRESS MED. During the last

few minutes of each of these tempera-

ture settings the dryer temperature

gradually reduces to a lower heat set-

ting. This helps prevent overdrying.

FINISHGUARD”setting

(Models LE7800XS and LG78OlXS

only)

When you are unable to remove a load

from the dryer as soon as it stops,

wrinkles can form.

If you don’t open the door within 5

minutes after the PERMANENT

PRESS cycle stops, FINISH GUARD

takes over automatically to protect the

load. You don’t have to set the Cycle

Control Knob for FINISH GUARD.

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.

CaringForYourDryer

Cleaningthe lint 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.

Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. 00 not rinse or wash the

screen. Wet lint is hard to remove.

Push the lint screen firmly back into

place and close the lid.

Cleaningthe dryer interior

Electric shock hazard. Unplug the

power supply cord or turn off the

electrical power before cleaning

the interior. Failure to do so could

result in electrical shock or injury.

Garments which contain unstable dyes,

such as denim blue jeans or brightly

colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer interior. If the interior is discolored,

clean

with one of the following methods

to avoid staining later load Items.
