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.
Suggested Dryer Settings
Automatic Regular / Delicate Cycle
Load Type
Small Medium
Automatic
Regular/Delicate Cycle
Cool-Down Periods
The AUTOMATIC REGULAR/
DELICATE cycle has 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 the 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.
Load Size
Large
Automatic
Permanent Press/Knits
Cycle
Use this setting for permanent
press, polyester knits, heavy and
medium weight synthetics that are
“no-iron”.
The COOL TUMBLE portion of
this cycle is a cool-down (no heat)
period. The end of cycle signal
(if selected) will buzz for a short
period of time at the end of
cool-down. If the clothes are not
removed at that time, the timer will
advance into the Cool Tumble
cycle, where the signal will buzz
for a short period of time for every
five minutes of the 15 minute cycle
before dryer stops.
