Drying tips

The dryer does not heat when the

Temperature Selector is set on FLUFF

AIR. This setting can be used to fluff

bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam

rubber pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers,

etc.

1. Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want in FLUFFAIR.

2. Push the STARTButton.

FINISH GUARD Setting

When you are unable to unload the

dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can

form.

If you don’t open the door within

5 minutes after the dryer stops, FINISH

GUARD takes over automatically to

protect the load. You don’t have to set

the Control Knob for FINISH GUARD.

FINISH GUARD tumbles the load,

without heat, every 5 minutes for up to

40 minutes. This tumbling rearranges

and fluffs the load to help avoid the

wrinkles that set in when the load

remains in the warm water.

TUMBLE PRESS” Setting

The TUMBLE PRESSsetting 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

PRESVMED.

3. Push STARTButton.

The load will tumble in heated air

for 10 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’T

PRESSMED cycles. During the last 7

minutes of each of these cycles, the

temperature gradually reduces to a

lower setting. This helps prevent

overdrying.

Drying times Mixed loads

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

End-of-cycle signal

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.

To reduce wrinkling, take the load

from dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is important for permanent press

knits and synthetics fabrics.

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 per-

manent press, synthetics and other items that

should be taken out as soon as the dryer stops.

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 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.
