Before Operating Your Dryer
Read your dryer Owner's Guide. It has important safety and
warranty information. It also has many suggestions for best drying
results.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in your
dryer owner's guide before operating this appliance.
Operating Steps
Read Drying Procedures in your Owner's Guide. It explains
these operating steps in detail.
1. Prepare items for drying.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer. If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door.
5. Set Temperature control.
6. Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired setting.
7. Push START button for 2 seconds or turn the START
knob clockwise to ON, hold for 1-2 seconds and
release.
8. A signal will sound when the cycle ends. The Cycle
Signal is adjustable on some models.
9. Remove items immediately and hang or fold.
10. Clean lint screen after every load.
Temperature Selection
Always follow directions on fabric care labels.
To avoid fire hazard, do not use heat to dry items
containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics, or similarly
textured, rubber-like materials. Use Air Fluff-No Heat setting
(some models) or Cool Down only.
The REGULAR-HIGH HEAT, PERM PRESS-MEDIUM HEAT, and
KNITS/DELICATES-LOW HEAT temp-erature settings may be
used with any cycle setting. The AIR FLUFF-NO HEAT setting
(some models) can be used only in the Timed Dry cycle.
AIR FLUFF-NO HEAT setting (some models) tumbles the load
without heat. Use Air Fluff (some models) or Cool Down to freshen
clothing, pillows or blankets, or to dust draperies.
Cycle Selection
Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle and setting.
Each cycle ends with a cool down period. The heat automatically
turns off and the load continues to tumble for 5-10 minutes. This
reduces wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load,
weight and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect
drying time.
Automatic Perm Press/Colors Cycle
This cycle is best for permanent press, knit and delicate items.
Drying time is determined automatically at the temperature
selection of your choice.
• Medium heat is suggested for permanent press items.
• Low heat is suggested for knit and delicate items.
If the dried load cannot be removed promptly, the cycle selector
will advance to the Press Saver/Fabric Sentry setting where
unheated tumbling continues for 40 minutes to help reduce
wrinkling.
Unless the Cycle Signal has been turned off (some models), it will
sound briefly every 5 minutes as a reminder to remove the load.
Automatic Regular/Whites Cycle
This cycle is best for cotton items that can be tumble dried.
Drying time is determined automatically at the temperature
selection of your choice. This cycle is best for items of similar
fabric, weight and construction.
• For items requiring more drying time, set cycle selector on
MORE/MAX
• For items requiring less drying time, set cycle selector on LESS
/MIN
Timed Dry Regular Cycle
This cycle provides up to 70 minutes of drying time at the
temperature selection of your choice.
Energy Saving Tips
• Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer correctly.
• Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature and cycle
settings. Choose an automatic dry cycle whenever possible for
accurate drying time.
• Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads usually take
longer to dry.
• Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a partially dry load, and
overdrying.
• Dry one load after another to take advantage of a warm dryer.
• Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to escape, which
prolongs drying time.
• If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.
• Install the dryer in an area where the room temperature is at
least 45°F (7°C).
