DRYER USE

Starting Your Dryer

WARNING

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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described.

Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

WARNING

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.

1. Clean lint screen before or after each cycle. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”

2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.

3. Rotate the dial to select either an Automatic or Manual Cycle then press the CONTROL

ON button. The preset settings and drying time for the cycle chosen will be displayed.

To use an Automatic Cycle

■ Point the dial to an Automatic Cycle.

■ Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load to be. The time displayed

is an estimated length of the cycle based on the Dryness Level selected. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected Dryness Level.

NOTE: Time is not adjustable for Automatic Cycles. Pressing the Manual Dry Time (- or +) buttons will cause a triple beep, indicating that the time cannot be changed.

■ Press the EXTRA CARE feature button if this option is desired.

■ Press the CYCLE END SIGNAL button to set signal volume to desired level.

■ Press and hold HOLD TO START button until dryer starts (about 1 second).

Once an Automatic cycle has started, the Extra Care feature and the Cycle End Signal level can be adjusted. Press the OFF button twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle and Dryness Level.

How Automatic Cycles Work

This feature improves drying performance with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

To use a Manual Cycle

■ Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

Press MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Tap or + and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold - or + and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.

NOTE: The Manual Dry Time feature can be used only with Manual Cycles.

■ Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE: Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple beep indicating that this option is not selectable. Also, a Dryness Level is not indicated.

■ Press the EXTRA CARE feature button if this option is desired.

■ Press the CYCLE END SIGNAL button to set volume to desired level.

Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.

Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.

Drying tips

■ Follow care label directions when they are available.

■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is

especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of

lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinking or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■ Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a

guide to drying various loads.

■ Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Automatic

Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or LESS.

■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, you must press the MANUAL

DRY TIME (- or +) buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual Cycles.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place. IMPORTANT:

■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so

can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

■ If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and

remove the lint. See “Venting Requirements.”

As needed cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.

Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wa sh

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
