How to Use Your Dryer . . .
The timer knob will not advance
with the same regularity in the
AUTOMATIC cycle as it does in
the TIME DRY cycle.
For example, you may notice the
timer knob remains in the same
position for 15 minutes before it
begins to move. THE TIMER IS
NOT MALFUNCTIONING. This
only means it took 15 minutes for
the load to become dry enough to
start advancing the timer knob.
The length of time it takes for the
timer knob to begin advancing
depends on the type and size of
load being dried.

Cool-Down Periods
The AUTOMATIC REGULAR and
AUTOMATIC DELICATE cycles
have a five minute cool-down
period at the end of the cycle.
During that time, the load is
tumbled with no heat. This helps
reduce wrinkling. Setting the timer
knob in a COOL-DOWN position
will result in the load being
tumbled with no heat. Do not
remove load until COOL-DOWN
period is complete and dryer
stops. The signal (if selected) will
buzz for the final 10-25 seconds of
the cool-down.

Use this setting for permanent

The COOL TUMBLE portion of this
cycle is a 10 minute cool-down
(no heat) period. The end of cycle
signal (if selected) will buzz for the
last 10-25 seconds of cool-down. If
clothes are not removed at that
time, the timer will advance into
the Cool Tumble cycle, where the
signal will buzz 10-25 seconds
every five minutes of the 15 minute
cycle before dryer stops.

Turn the timer knob for the number
of minutes required for drying. This
cycle has a five minute cool-down

(Approx.)
Your Time Dry cycle has four
settings: WRINKLE OUT,
DAMP DRY, LESS DRY and
MORE DRY.
• WRINKLE OUT
In the Time Dry cycle, use the
Wrinkle Out setting for clothes
that have been previously dryed
and have become somewhat
wrinkled from not being attended
to promptly.
• DAMP DRY
In the Time Dry cycle, use the
Damp Dry setting for clothes you
want to remove from the dryer
somewhat damp, yet dry enough
to iron.
• LESS DRY
In the Time Dry cycle, use the
Less Dry setting for cottons such
as cotton knits, dresses, dress
shirts, cotton work clothes and
mixed loads.
Air Fluff / No Heat
Cycle
This is a no heat cycle that
tumbles and circulates room
temperature air through the load
for 15 minutes. Use for fluffing
shag rugs, bedspreads, pillows,
blankets, and other heat sensitive
items that should not be dried with
heat. The signal (if selected) will
buzz for the final 10-25 seconds.
