Operating instructions

Dryer cycles and settings

The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle helps

loads.

At each setting, the dryer will run

about long enough to dry the load

described by the setting. Example:

long enough to dry a load of heavy

If you need service or assistance, we suggest

you follow these four steps:

L Before calling for

assistance...

Performance problems often result

from little things you can find and fix

yourself without tools of any kind.

If your dryer does not run:

Is the power supply cord plugged

into a live circuit with the proper volt-

age?

Is the door closed tightly?

Did you push the STARTButton?

Have you checked your home’s

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

If your dryer does not heat:

The AIR setting is without heat.

The last minutes of heat settings are

without heat.

Is the gas turned on? If not, turn the

Control Knob to OFF. Turn on gas.

Wait 5 minutes. Reset controls and

start.

An electric dryer uses a circuit

breaker or 2 fuses. If one fuse is

blown, the dryer may run, but not

heat.

If drying time seems long:

Is the lint screen clean?
