OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in
this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
Operating Your Dryer
(Mesh bag not included.)
1 Prepare load for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in
the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate
items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed
in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash
again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set
some stains.
• Place delicate or small
items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure buckles,
buttons and trim are
heatproof and won’t
damage the drum fi nish.
Close zippers, button
buttons, fasten hooks
and Velcro
®
-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to
prevent snagging and tangling.
2 Check that the lint fi lter is clean and in place.
3 Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fi ll the
drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely
for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of
the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and
wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items
at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized
items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three
similar items to improve tumbling action.
4 Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each
load.
• See
Dryer Operating Instructions
on following pages.
5 Start the dryer.
• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the
door open.
• Press the POWER button to turn on the unit.
• Turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to
the desired cycle. The indicator for that cycle will be
illuminated. See the “Cycle Selection” section in this
guide for descriptions of each cycle.
• The estimated cycle time, preset drying temperature,
dryness level, and options for each cycle will be indicated
for the cycle displayed. See the “Cycle Settings” and
“Dryer Settings Chart” in this guide for descriptions and
available settings for each cycle.
• To change the settings, press the Temp and Dryness
buttons to scroll to the desired settings.
• To select or deselect an option, press the button for
that option. The indicator will be illuminated when the
option has been selected. The indicator will no longer
be lighted when the option has been deselected.
• After making your selections, press START to begin
the cycle.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running,
press the Pause button to pause the cycle and open the
door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also
pause the cycle. Allow the drum to come to a complete
stop before reaching inside. Add or remove the item,
close the door and push the START button again,
continuing the current cycle.
• To cancel a running cycle, press the POWER button.
• A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime
option has been selected.
NOTE
If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter,
remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it
“inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item
back in dryer and re-start cycle.
CAUTION
Do not operate dryer without lint fi lter in place.
6 When the cycle ends, remove items immediately
and hang or fold.
