Drying tips

TUMBLE PRESS”

Setting

FLUFF AIR

The dryer does not heat when the

Control Knob is set on FLUFFAIR. This

setting can be used to fluff bedding,

plastic tablecloths, foam rubber pil-

lows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.

1. Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want in FLUFFAIR.

2. Push the STARTButton.

The TUMBLE PRESS setting removes

wrinkles from dry clothing such as

items that may have been packed

in a suitcase, closet, or items not

removed from the dryer.

1. Set Control Knob to TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Set Temperature Selector to PERM’T

PRESS/ MED.

3. Push START Button.

The load will tumble in heated air

for 10 minutes. The heat shuts off and

the dryer continues to tumble the

load for 10 more minutes.

For best results, TUMBLE PRESSonly

a few items at a time. Put them on

hangers or fold them as soon as the

dryer stops.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat setting in HEAVY HIGH and PERMIT

PRESSMED cycles. The last 5 minutes

of each of these cycles gradually

reduces the dryer temperature to a

lower heat setting. This helps prevent

overdrying.

Mixed loads Drying times

When drying a load with different

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the

cycle suggested for the lightest

fabrics. When the dryer stops, remove

dry items and reset the control.

To reduce wrinkling, take the load

from dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is important for permanent press,

knits and synthetic fabrics.

End-of-cycle signal

Drying times will vary depending on:

amount of moisture in the clothes.

type and weight of the fabric.

size of the load.

room temperature around the

dryer.

temperature of the wash rinse

water.

amount of lint in the lint screen.

dryer temperature selection.

See page 6 in your”Dryer Guide”

for more information.

The dryer sounds a signal to let you know

when the cycle is finished. The signal cannot be

turned off and is not adjustable.

The signal is helpful when you are drying

permanent press, synthetics and other items

that should be taken out as soon as the dryer

stops.

Lint signal

Clean lint screen before each load. If you

neglect to clean your lint screen, the signal will

sound. The [whistle tone] signal lets you know

the air flow is being restricted. Restricted air flow

reduces drying efficiency.

Turn off the dryer and clean the lint screen as

shown on page 9.

Lint screen

Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can

increase drying time and may be a FIRE HAZARD.

Lint removal

Lint can gather inside the dryer and create a fire hazard. This lint

should be removed at least every 2 to 3 years, or more otten,

depending on dryer usage.
