IheautomaticCyCleS

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you

prefer for the clothes being dried.

The automatic DRY-MISEFPcontrol

is a thermostat that senses the dryer

air temperature. The dryer automati-

cally shuts off when the selected

dryness is reached.

The Cycle Control Knob will not

move until the load is almost dry or the

Cool-Down portion of the cycle has

been reached. After the Cool-Down

portion is complete, the Cycle Control

Knob automatically moves to an OFF

area and tumbling stops.

Use AUTOMATIC REGULAR to dry

heavy or mediumweight cotton items.

The load tumbles without heat during

the last 5 minutes. This helps make

the load easier to handle.

Use AUTOMATIC PERMANENT

PRESS to dry permanent press, knits

and other synthetic items. The load

tumbles without heat during the last 10

minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from

setting in and makes the load easier to

handle.

For the first few loads, set the Cycle

Control Knob to point to the * in either

automatic cycle. When the dryer stops,

Fire Hazard

Do not dry plastic or rubber items

with heat. Use FLUFF AIR setting,

or line dry. Failure to do so could

result In fire or damaged items.

fold them. 7

AdditionalDryerFeatures

GentleHeatsystem

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERMIT PRESS. During the last few

minutes of each of these temperature

settings, the dryer temperature

gradually reduces to a lower heat

setting. This helps prevent overdrying.

End-of-cyclesignal

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, synthetic and

other items that should be taken out as

soon as the dryer stops.

CaringForYourDryer

Cleaningthe lint screen

The lint screen is located under a lid on top of the dryer. Clean it before each

load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

Product and Fabric Damage Hazard

Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,

damaged, blocked or missing. Doing so can

cause overheating and damage to both the

dryer and fabrics.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash the

screen. Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into

place and close the lid.
