Operating The Dryer - Kenmore 796. 8147 Series Use & Care Manual

OPERATING THE DRYER

1 LOAD THE DRYER
Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra
large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance
and fabric care.
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER
2
If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and remove
the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient
drying performance.
3
TURN ON THE DRYER
Press the POWER button to turn ON the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate
and a chime will sound.
4 SELECT A CYCLE
Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the desired
cycle is illuminated. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for
that cycle will display.
5 SELECT CYCLE MODIFIERS
Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if desired, using
the Temp and Dry Level buttons.
NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. Temperature
can only be adjusted on Timed Dry cycles; Dry Level is only available on
Auto Dry cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not illuminate
if the selection is not allowed.
6 SELECT CYCLE OPTIONS
Cycle options can be added using the option buttons (wrinkle guard, static
shield, control lock and iron ready).
NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available on all cycles. A different
chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.
BEGIN CYCLE
7
Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused
at any time by opening the door or by pressing the START/PAUSE button. If
the cycle is not restarted within four minutes of being paused, the dryer will shut
off and the settings will be lost.
END OF CYCLE

When the cycle is finished, the chime will sound. Immediately remove your
clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If WRINKLE GUARD is selected,
the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from
setting in the clothes.
