IMPORTANT

SA~TY

NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryers to the outdoors,

●

Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used. Always be sure the lint filter is in place. Don’t use the dryer without it.

●

Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are sorted right for washing, they’re sorted right for drying. See page 8 for sorting help. (If you do mix various types of fabrics in your load, set the controls for the lighter-weight fabrics and remove when dry. Reset controls for the remaining heavier fabrics. )

See the Controls Setting Guide on pages 6 and 7.

~Drying

Selections Select the proper heat for your load. Note: “Fluff No-Heat” is to be used only with the TIMED

~CLES.

~PRESS

GUARD feature.

(Operates only

with AU~MATIC

SENSI-DRY

cycles.) Turn to ON if

desired. To minimize

wrin~es set

in the clothes, the

PRESS GUARD feature provides approximately one hour of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are dry.

Use End-of-Cycle Signal (See step 3 below). Buzzer will sound at five-minute intervals to remind you to remove the clothes.

~End-of-Cycle

Signal

(Operates with any cycle.)

The Signal control can be set anywhere between OFF and LOUD, depending on the desired sound level. The signal will sound

just before the end of the cycle to

remind you to remove the clothes. To stop signal while sounding, turn

Signal control to OFF or advance Cycle Selector to OFF.

The signal should always be used when drying Polyester Knits or Permanent Press items which should be removed as soon as the dryer stops to help prevent setting of

wrirddes.

The signal should also be used with the

PRESS GUARD feature.

Turn Cycle Selector to desired

cycle setting.

The selector may be

turned in either direction.

@Turn START knob to start dryer. (Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. To

restart, close the door and turn the START knob.)

● DO

N~ OVERLOAD—

Garments being dried or

dewrin~ed

should tumble freely.

●

REMOVE CLOTHES PROMPTLY-TO help prevent

wrin~ing,

remove from the dryer promptly at the end of the drying cycles.

-–- ● PLACE ON

HANGERS—

Permanent Press and Polyester Knit garments look best if placed on hangers after drying.

What is the difference between Automatic &

~med dryi~?

Automatic Drying When using the

AU~MATIC

SENSI-DRY

cycles, the

Automatic

Dry Control system

continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps this air cool. When laundry is dry enough (and the drum air warm enough) the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on. This off and on cycling may

happen a number of times

(depending on the fabric, load size, and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when the heat is off) until it automatically turns off dryer.

Timed Drying When using the TIMED CYCLES, you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time
