Operating Instructions

Theautomaticcycles

The automatic cycles allow you to

select the degree of dryness you prefer

for the clothes being dried.

The electronic DRY-MISER@ control

is an electronic sensor that determines

the amount of moisture in the clothes.

The dryer automatically shuts off when

the proper dryness is reached.

The Cycle Control Knob will not move

until the clothes 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 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,

feel the dried items.

If items are drier than you like, use a

setting to the right of the * 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 *the next

time you dry a similar load.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause

shrinkage, static cling and damage to

some fabrics.

TIMEDDRYING

Use the TIMED DRYING cycle for any

load you want to dry by time.

Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

number of minutes you want from

10 to 70.

The last 5 minutes of this cycle are

without heat to help make the load

easier to handle.

UsingFLUFFAIR

Do not dry plastic or rubber items

1 with heat. IJ~~~~~~~IR setting, )

or line dry. Failure to do so could

result in fire or damaged items.

The dryer does nol heat when the Cycle

Control Knob is set in FLUFF AIR. This

cycle can be used to fluff or air dry bed-

ding, plastic tablecloths, foam rubber

pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.

1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to

the number of minutes you want

in FLUFF AIR.

UsingTUMBLEPRESS”

The TUMBLE PRESS setting removes

wrinkles from clothing that has been

packed in a suitcase or closet, and from

items not removed from the dryer at the

end of a cycle.

1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on

TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Press the PERM’T PRESS Tempera-

ture Selector.

3. Push the Start Button.

The load will tumble in heated air for

15 minutes. Then the dryer will tumble

the clothes for 5 more minutes without

heat.

For best results, put only a few items

at a time in this cycle. As soon as the

dryer stops, put the items on hangers or

fold them.

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.

Lintsignal

Clean the lint screen before each

load. If you neglect to clean your lint

screen, a 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 11.

AdditionalDryerFeatures

GentleHeatsystem

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and

PERM’T PRESS. During the last few

minutes of each of these temperature

settings, the dryer temperature gradu-

ally reduces to a lower heat setting.

This helps prevent overdrying.

Usingthedryingrack

The drying rack lets you dry items that

you may not want to tumble. The rack

does not move, but the drum turns.

Make sure nothing hangs over the edge

of the rack.

1. Fit rear legs of the rack into indenta-

tions in the back wall of the dryer.

2. Lower the front so the legs rest on

the dryer opening.

3. Put wet items on top of the rack.

Leave space between them so air

can reach all surfaces.

4. Close the door and stat-l the dryer.

See page 10 for suggested cycles

and temperature settings when

using the drying rack.

FINISHGUARD@setting

When you are unable to remove a load

from the dryer as soon as it stops,

wrinkles can form.

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 wrinkles

that set in when the load remains in the

drum.

You don’t have to set the Cycle Con-

trol Knob for FINISH GUARD. FINISH

GUARD takes over automatically to

protect the load if you don’t open the

door within 5 minutes after the PERMA-

NENT PRESS cycle stops.

A signal will sound every 5 minutes

during FINISH GUARD, for up to 40

minutes. The signal will stop when the

dryer door is opened.
