Operating Instructions
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. Drying may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure
buckles, but-
tons and trim
are heatproof
and won’t damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten
hooks and Velcro
®
-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes
to prevent snagging and tangling.
2 Check that the lint filter is clean and in place and
water container is empty. See also Care and Cleaning
section.
6 When the cycle ends, remove items immediately and
hang or fold.
5 Start the dryer.
• Close the door and press Start. The dryer will not oper-
ate with the door open. “

as a reminder to close the door.
• Select delay start to delay the beginning of the cycle,
if desired.
• To add a forgotten item to the dryer drum, press Pause
and open the door. “
PAUSE
” will be displayed alternately
with the estimated remaining cycle time. Opening the door
with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. Add the item,
close the door and press Start to resume the cycle.
• If changes to the settings or options are attempted after
the cycle starts, you will hear several beeps when the
buttons are pressed. To change the settings or options,
press Pause, make the new selections and press Start
again.
• To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press
the Power button to cancel the current cycle, press the
Power button to turn on unit again, select a new cycle,
and press Start again. Just pressing another cycle icon
will not change the cycle.
• To stop the cycle, press the Power button.

option has been selected.
CAUTION
Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons,
read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this
Use
and Care Guide
before operating your dryer.
NOTE
Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness
and a build up of static electricity.
3 Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum
1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even
drying and less wrinkling.
• Fabric softener sheets are not recommended with this
condensing dryer.
• 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.
• Press the Power button to turn on the unit.
• Select a desired cycle by pressing its icon.
• The estimated cycle time, drying temperature, dryness
level and options will be indicated for the cycle selected.
See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more details.
• To change the settings, press the Temperature or dry-
ness icons to scroll to the desired settings.
• To select or delete an option, press the icon 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 deleted.
NOTE
To provide the best care for your laundry, not every setting or
option is available with every cycle. If a setting or option is not
available for the cycle selected, the indicator will not light.
NOTE
If drying a single large or bulky item 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.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint filter and empty the water container after every
load.
4 Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each
load.
