Additional Features

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the features described.
Heavy
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items such as
thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if
available, to Hot (or High) Heat.
Cotton
Select this setting to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets,
mattress pads and quilts, or a load of towels. Set the
Temperature selector, if available, to Hot (or High) Heat.
Synthetics/Perm Press
Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron
items such as shirts, blouses, or dresses. Choose a Medium Heat
setting if available.
Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time. Choose a Hot (or High) or Medium Heat setting
depending on the type of fabrics being dried.
Delicates
Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the
Temperature selector, if available, to Low Heat.
TUMBLE PRESS setting
Select this cycle to help remove wrinkles from items such as
clothing packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in
the dryer too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to
Medium or Low Heat depending on the fabrics in your load.
Damp Dry
Select this cycle to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that
do not require an entire drying cycle. Use the Damp Dry cycle on
items such as jeans (to avoid stiffness) or cotton clothing (to
make pressing easier). If your model has a Temperature selector,
choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load.

Wrinkle Guard II™
When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as
it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Guard II feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and uffs the load for up to
30 minutes without heat to help keep wrinkles from forming.
Press the Wrinkle Guard ON button to enable the Wrinkle Guard II
feature. A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Guard II
feature is on if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and
the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door, or when you
turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If
your End of Cycle signal is selectable, the signal will sound
only if set to On.
If the Wrinkle Shield feature is on, the signal sounds every few
minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the
Cycle Control knob to Off.

Drying Rack (optional)

The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, sweaters or tennis shoes ) .
You can order a drying rack by contacting the dealer from whom
you purchased your dryer.
To use the drying rack
1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put the wet items on top of the drying rack. Leave space
between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the
door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the drying
rack.
3. Select cycle and temperature to match the fabrics in your
load. Items containing foam, rubber or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline. Refer to the following table.
4. Press Start. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
NOTE: The drying rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do
not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
