Operating instructions

Dryer cycles and settings Cool down times

The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle helps

provide the special care that perma-

need...a period of heated drying

followed by a 10 minute cool down.

The chart on page 4 suggests time

and temperature settings for different

kinds of loads.

The EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and

LIGHT cycles describe the loads

they are designed to dry The chart

on page 4 tells what is meant by

EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and LIGHT

loads.

At each setting, the dryer will run

about long enough to dry the load

described by the setting. Example:

The HEAVY Cycle is designed to be

longenoughtodryaloadofheavy

fabrics (towels, jeans, corduroys, etc ]

when the Temperature Selector is set

on PERM’T PRESS/HEAVY HIGH.

set the dial more to the lefl the next

time you dry that kind of load.

If the load is dryerthan you want,
