of the cycle has been reached. After

COOL-DOWN, the knob automati-

cally moves to an OFF area and

tumbling stops.

Use

REGULARto

dry heavy

and medium-

weight cotton items. The load tumbles

wlthout heat during the last 5 mln-

utes. This helps make the load easier

to handle.

a setting to the right of the :_ the next

time you dry a similar load.

Use

AUTOMATIC

PERMANENT

PRESSto dry

permanent

press, knits and other synthetic

fabrics. The load tumbles without

heat during the last t0 minutes. This

helps keep wrinkles from setting in

and makes the load easier to

handle.

•If items are not as dry as you like, use

a setting to the left of the :_ the next

time you dry a similar load.

Tuned drying

Use the TIMED DRYING Cycle for

any load you want to dry by time.

• Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want-from t0 to 70.

• The last 10 minutes of this cycle are

without heat- a cool-down time.

This helps make the load easier to

handle.

Drying tips TUMnLE PRESS ®Setting

FLUFF

The dryerdoes not heat when the

ControlKnob isseton FLUFFAIR.This

settingcon be used tofluffbedding,

plastictablecloths,foam rubber

pillows,stuffedtoys,sneakers,etc.

The TUMBLEPRESSsetting removes

wrinkles from dry clothing such as

items that may have been packed

in a suitcase, closet, or items not

removed from the dryer.

t. Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want in FLUFFAIR.

2. Push the STARTButton.

Automatic DRY-MISER ®

Control

The thermostat senses the air

temperature. The dryer automatically

shuts off when the selected dryness

is reached.

1. Set Control Knob to TUMBLEPRESS.

2. Set Temperature Selector to PERM'T

PRESS/MED.

3. Push STARTButton.

The load will tumble in heated air

for 15 minutes. The heat shuts off and the

dryer continues to tumble the load

for 5 more minutes.

For best results, TUMBLE PRESSonly a

few items at a time. Put them on hang-

ers or fold them as soon as the dryer

stops.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces

the heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERM'TPRESSMED cycles. During

the last few minutes of each of

these cycles the dryer temperature

gradually reduces 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 fab-

rics. When the dryer stops, remove dry

items and reset the control.

Toreduce wrinkling, take the load

from dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is important for permanent press,

knits and synthetic fabrics.

Drying times will vary depending on:

•amount of moisture in the clothes.

• type and weight of the fabric.

•size of load,

• room temperature around the dryer.

• temperature of the wash rinse water.

• amount of lint in the lint screen,

• dryer temperature selection.

See your "Dryer Guide" for more

information.

End-of-cycle signal The dryer sounds o signal to let you know when

the cycle is finished. The signal cannot be turned

off and is not adjustable.

The signal ishelpful when you are drying per-

manent 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 offthe dryer and clean the lint screen as

shown on page 9.

Lint screen

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

increase drying time and may be a FIREHAZARD.

Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out, ROLL the lint off the screen with

your fingers.

DO NOT rinse or wash the screen.

Push the screen firmly back into place.

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 often, depending

on dryer usage.
