Before Operating Your Dryer

Read your dryer Owner's Guide. It has
important safety and warranty information. It
also has many suggestions for best drying results.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in your dryer owner's
guide before operating this appliance.

Operating Steps

Read Drying Procedures in your Owner's
Guide. It explains these operating steps in detail.

1. Prepare items for drying.

2. Check that lint screen is clean and in
place.

3. Load the dryer. If desired, add a dryer fabric

softener sheet.

4. Close the dryer door.

5. Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired
setting.

6. Start dryer. Push the Push to Start button

for 2 seconds.

7. At end of cycle, remove items immedi­ately and hang or fold.

8. Clean lint screen after every load.

Cycle Selection

Always follow directions on fabric care labels.

Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle
and setting. Each cycle ends with a cool down
period. The heat automatically turns off and the
load continues to tumble for 5-10 minutes. This
reduces wrinkling and makes items easier to
handle during unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and
dampness of load, weight and fabric type. Room
temperature and humidity, type of installation
and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also
affect drying time.

Energy Saving Tips

Time Dry Regular-High Heat

This cycle provides up to 100 minutes of drying
time at high heat for regular items. It is followed
by a 10-minute Cool Down (no heat) setting.

When drying permanent press items, turn the
cycle selector to 40-50 minutes. This is the
average time needed to dry most loads of
permanent press items.

The Cool Down setting within the Time Dry
cycle provides up to 10 minutes of tumbling
without heat. Use Cool Down to freshen clothing,
pillows or blankets or to dust draperies. Heat­sensitive items such as plastics, foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials or items
containing feathers or down should be dried
only with the Cool Down setting.

When the items are dry, the heat automatically
turns off and the load is tumbled for approximately
10 minutes without heat.

To avoid fire hazard, do not use
heat to dry items containing feathers or down,
foam rubber, plastics, or similarly textured,
rubber-like materials. Use Cool Down (no heat)
setting only.

Auto Dry Regular-High Heat

This cycle is best for regular and permanent
press items that can be tumble dried at high
heat. Drying time is determined automatically.

• For items requiring more drying time, set cycle

selector on MORE DRY.

• For items requiring less drying time, set cycle

selector on LESS DRY.

• Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the
dryer correctly.

• Sort laundry properly and select proper
temperature and cycle settings. Choose an
automatic dry cycle whenever possible for
accurate drying time.

• Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads
usually take longer to dry.

• Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a
partially dry load, and overdrying.

• Dry one load after another to take advantage
of a warm dryer.

• Opening the door needlessly causes warm air
to escape, which prolongs drying time.

• If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.

• Install the dryer in an area where the room
temperature is at least 45°F (7°C).
