WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
This book covers several different
models. Your dryer may not have
all of the cycles and features described.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Clean lin
t screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint
Screen.”
2. Load clothes
loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the
type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred setting (*) to
dry
most heavy to medium-weight fabrics.
4. If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the
recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See
“Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet) for temperature
suggestions. On some models, temperature is included in the
cycle selections.
5. (OPTIONA
L) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature
selector. When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as
soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature periodically
tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load without heat to help
smooth out wrinkles.
6. (OP
TIONAL) Your dryer may have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL.
The signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed
from the dryer as soon as it stops.
■ On some models, the volume of the End of Cycle signal can
be adjusted. Turn the selector to the desired volume.
■ On other models, the End of Cycle signal is part of the Start
button and is selectable. Turn the START button to ON or
OFF. The signal will sound only if the selector is set to On.
7. Select the desir
ed Option. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions”
(separate sheet).
8. If des
ired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow instructions on the
package.
9. Push the START button.
How Automatic Drying Works
When you are using the Auto Moisture Sensing Cycle, the dryness of
the load is determined by two metal strips (sensors) located on the
inside of the dryer. The metal strips help “feel” the amount of
moisture left in the clothes as they tumble. When moisture is left in
the clothes, the Cycle Control knob will not advance. As clothes
begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes decreases, and
the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle. When the
selected dryness level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down
period of up to 10 minutes.
Stopping and Restarting
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when the
dryer is not in use.
To restart your dryer
1. Close the door.
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
3. Pu
sh the START button.
