Extra Care
Use this option to minimize the wrinkles
in clothes. It provides approximately 15
minutes of no-heat tumbling after the
clothes are dry.
This option can only be used with
Automatic cycles. If you are using the
CYCLE SIGNAL and you select the EXTRA
CARE option, a signal will sound at the end
of drying time and several times during the
EXTRA CARE cycle. This will remind you that
it is time to remove the clothes.
Cycle Signal
This signal will sound just before the end of
the cycle to remind you to remove the
clothes. The signal sound level can be
adjusted.
SensorDry
This feature is only activated in the
automatic cycles.
As the clothes tumble they touch a large
sensor. The SensorDry feature will stop
the heating cycle as soon as the clothes
have reached the selected dryness.
Drum Lamp
Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to
unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect
the dryer at the household distribution
panel by removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker. Reach above dryer
opening from inside the drum. Remove the
bulb and replace with the same size bulb.
Drying Rack
A handy drying rack may be used for drying
articles such as stuffed toys, pillows or
washable sweaters.
Hook the rack over the lint filter so the rack
extends into the dryer drum.
If you selected the EXTRA CARE option the
signal will sound at the end of the drying
time and will sound several times during
the EXTRA CARE cycle. This will remind
you that it is time to remove the clothes.
NOTE:
Remove garments promptly at the sound
of the signal. Place clothes on hangers so
wrinkles won't set in.
Use the Cycle Signal especially when
drying fabrics like polyester knits and
permanent press. These fabrics should be
removed so wrinkles won't set in.
Reset Options
Selecting RESET OPTIONS cancels all options
that have been selected.
On some models there is a SensorDry
indicator light. This light is illuminated
during automatic cycles. When the
SensorDry feature stops the heating cycle
the light will go out and the cool down
period will begin.
NOTE: The clothes will be hot if they are
removed immediately after the indicator
light goes out.
NOTE:
The drying rack must be used with the
TIMED CYCLE.
Do not use this drying rack when there
are other clothes in the dryer.
