USING YOUR DRYER

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

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.

• 3. Select the desired cycle

Select the desired cycle for your load. See the Cycle Guide for more information about each cycle.

ACCUDRY™/AUTOMATIC DRY Cycles

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by turning the knob to dryness level.

Selecting More or Very Dry, ENERGY PREFERRED, or Less Dry automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dry level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

ACCUDRY™/AUTOMATIC DRY cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

NOTE: More or Very Dry removes more load moisture.

ENERGY PREFERRED is used for a starting point for ACCUDRY™ cycles. Choose ENERGY PREFERRED for optimal energy savings. Less Dry removes less moisture and used for loads you may want to put on a hanger to complete drying.

• 4. Set cycle settings and options

Select cycle settings and options by turning the knob to the desired position.

NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles.

Temperature

Turn the TEMPERATURE knob to change the drying temperature setting. See “Setting the Drying Temperature”.
