Load the dryer properly

• Load sorted clothes into dryer. See Loading section.
• Clean lint filter before each load.
Remove the lint filter by pulling
straight up. Wipe all accumulated
lint from screen. Properly reposition
lint filter after cleaning. Occasionally
wash filter using soap and warm water.
Rub lightly, rinse and dry thoroughly. This
will help remove all fabric softener buildup.
Polyester Knits & Perm Press Drying Tips
• Do not overload—Garments being dried or
dewrinkled should tumble freely.
• Remove clothes immediately—To help prevent
wrinkling, remove clothes from the dryer
immediately at the end of the drying cycles.
How Timed and Automatic Drying Differ
Automatic drying—The Automatic Dry Control
system continually senses air temperature in dryer
drum. Wet laundry keeps this air cool. When drum air
is warm enough, heat turns off. When the air cools,
heat turns back on. This on and off cycling may
happen a number of times (depending on the fabric,
load size and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle
Selector advances (when the heat is off) until
it automatically turns dryer off.
Timed drying— You select the number of minutes
you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end
of this time period.

Press the Start button. (Opening door

close door and press the Start button again.)
Do not use dryer-applied fabric softeners unless
you follow these lint cleaning instructions.
Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place.
• Close door. Door must be closed before dryer will
operate.
• Place on hangers—Permanent Press and
Polyester Knit garments look best if placed
on hangers after drying.
