WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See "Cleaning the Lint
Screen."
2. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
3. Turn the Cycle Selector Control to the recommended cycle
for the type of load being dried. Use the Normal Dry cycle,
indicated by an asterisk (
weight fabrics.
4. Set the Temperature control to the recommended setting for
the type of fabric being dried. See Dryer Cycle Descriptions
(separate sheet) for temperature suggestions.
5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE GUARD
feature selector. When you are unable to remove a load from
the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without
heat to help avoid wrinkling.
6. (OPTIONAL) If you want the dryer to sound a signal when the
cycle is finished, set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL control to
ON, or to the volume level you prefer (on some models). The
signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press,
synthetics and other items that should be removed from the
dryer as soon as it stops.

instructions.

How Automatic Drying Works
During the Automatic Drying Cycle, the exhaust temperature of
the dryer determines the drying time and dryness levels. A
thermostat signals the Cycle Control Knob when to move into
®
Cool Down. The drying time for an Automatic Drying Cycle
depends on load type and load size. When drying a large or
heavy load, the Cycle Control Knob may take a long time before it
begins to advance into Cool Down. Automatic Drying Cycle takes
the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care. The
amount of time that is displayed is the estimated time remaining
in the cycle.
