Before Operating Your Dryer

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 Use and Care Guide before operating this appliance.

Operating Steps

Read Drying Procedures in your Use and Care 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 and Cycle Signal controls.
6. Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired setting.
7. Start dryer. Turn the Turn to Start control clockwise to ON.
Hold for 1-2 seconds and release.
8. When Cycle Signal control is on, a signal will sound at
the end of the cycle.
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 the Air Fluff-No Heat cycle
only.
Select the temperature setting most suitable for each load. The
REGULAR--HIGH HEAT, PERM PRESS--MEDIUM HEAT and
DELICATES--LOW HEAT temperature settings may be used with
any cycle setting.

Cycle Selection

Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle and setting.
The Automatic and Timed Dry cycles end with a cool down period.
The heat automatically turns off and the load continues to tumble
during the cool down period. 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.
