FEATURES AND

BENEFITS

Automat c } mpe atu e (%osWo

In Auto Dry Cycles, the heat is automatically turned down as the

clothes become dry. This allows faster drying, reduces overdrying and provides better care of the fabrics.

DRYER USE

The automatic temperature control monitors temperature and moisture and turns down the temperature at the right time. Jeans come out of the dryer ready to wear. You can put them on without them being either damp or overdry,

The Ultra Delicate drying system is Kenmore's fastest and gentlest drying combination ever. It allows an ultra low drying

temperature without long drying times.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had anything

flammable on it (even after washing). Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, explosion, or fire.

Follow these basic steps to star your dryer. Please refer to

specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

1. Clean lint screen before or after each cycle.

2. Place laundry into dryer and shut door. See "Loading."

3. Press the selected cycle pad. The preset settings for Auto Dry Cycles or Manual Cycles will glow. The estimated or actual cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of

oil on it (including cooking oils). Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be

dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death or fire.

To use an Auto Dry Cycle:

• Select an Auto Dry Cycle.

Select AUTO DRY LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of

the load and adjusts the time automatically for the

selected dryness level.

• Select the desired Options.
