ers or fold them as soon as the dryer

stops.

Electronic DRY-MISER”

Control

An electronic sensor determines

the amount of moisture in the

clothes and automatically shuts off

when the proper dryness is reached.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces

the heat settings in HEAVYHIGH and

PERMITPRESSMED 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.

Drying times Mixed loads

Drying times will vary depending on:

l amount of moisture in the clothes.

l type and weight of the fabric.

l size of the load.

l room temperature around the dryer.

l temperature of the wash rinse water.

l amount of lint in the lint screen.

l dryer temperature selection.

See your “Dryer Guide” for more

information.

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.

End-of-cycle signal

The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when

the cycle isfinished. 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.

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

A screen blocked by lint can

increase drying time and may be a FIREHAZARD.
