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.

NOTE: Use the Fabric Selector
setting appropriate for your load.
For example: Set Fabric Selector
on Delicate for delicate loads.
Hint* Set timer based on
previous load types and
sizes. If load is too dry,
set timer closer to Less
Dry mark. If load is too
wet, set timer closer to
More Dry mark.
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 continuously for the final 30
seconds of the cool-down.
