to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS in your
dryer Use and Care Guide before operating this appliance.
Operating Steps

these operating steps in detail.

3, Load the dryer. If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door.
5. Set Temperature and Cycle Signal controls.

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 HEA T, PERM PRESS--MEDIUM HEAT a nd
DELICATES--LOWHEA Ttemperature 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 totumble
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.

Occasionally a load may seem too damp or overdried atthe end
of the cycle. To increase drying time for similar loads in the
future, set the cycle selector on the indicator line to the left of
the TOWELS, REGULAR, or DELICATES/PERMPRESS setting.
For loads requiring lessdrying time, set the cycle selector on the
indicator line to the right.
• DAMPDRY- This setting is best for items you wish to partially
dry before hanging or ironing. Select the temperature setting
most suitable for the load.
Air Fluff Cyde

Energy Saving Tips
• Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer correctly.
• Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature and cycle
settings. Choose the Automatic 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 causeswarm airto 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).
