handle.

press,

cottons, blends and other synthetic fab-

rics. The load tumbles without heat for

the last 10 minutes. This helps keep

wrinkles from setting in.

For the first few loads, set the Control

Knob to point to the middle mark in either

automatic cycle. When the dryer stops,

feel the dried items.

If items are drier than you like, use a

setting to the right of the middle mark

the next time you dry a similar load.

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

setting to the left of the middle mark the

next time you dry a similar load.

Timed drying

Use the TIMED DRYING Cycle for any

load you want to dry by time (ie...small

loads, large loads, large bulky items).

Turn the Control Knob to the number of

minutes you want-from 10 to 70.

The last 10 minutes of this cycle are with-

out heat - a cool-down time. This helps

make the load easier to handle.

Drying tips

TUMBLE PRESS@Setting

The TUMBLE PRESSsetting removes

wrinkles from clothing such as items that

may have been packed in a suitcase,

closet, or items not removed from the

dryer.

Damp Dry Setting

This setting should be used for damp

items that do not require an entire drying

cycle.

For Damp Dry:

1. Set the Control Knob to the mark

between 20 and 40 minutes in the

Timed Drying cycle.

2. Push the STARTButton.

The dryer heats for 20 minutes and con-

tinues to tumble the load for10 minutes

without heat on the Damp Dry setting.

For TUMBLE PRESS:

1. Set the Control Knob to the 20 minute

mark in the Timed Drying cycle.

2. Push the STARTButton.

The load will tumble in heated air for 10

minutes, The heat shuts off and the dryer

continues to tumble the load for IO 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.

Mixed loads Drying times

When drying a load with different kinds

and weights of fabrics, use the cycle sug-

gested for the lightest fabrics. When the

dryer stops, remove dry items and reset

the control.

To reduce wrinkling, take the load from

the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is

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.

See page 6 in your “Dryer Guide” for

more information.

End-of-cycle signal

‘/

’ ,\’

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 FIREHAZARD.

Open the lid and pull the lint screen ROLL the lint off the screen with your

straight out. 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 should be

removed every 2 to 3 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.
