Your easy-to-use dryer has a color-coordi-

nated Cycle Control Knob and Fabric/

Temperature Selector. When using the

automatic cycles, simply choose the setting

on the Cycle Control Knob that corresponds

with the one you chose on the Fabric/Temp

Selector. When using Timed Drying, choose

High, Medium, or Low heat with the Fabric/

Temp selector. (See chart on page 9.)

Automatic Cycle(s)

Your dryer has five Automatic cycles (Heavy,

Normal, Wrinkle Resist, Quick Dry, and

Delicate) and three corresponding tempera-

ture selections. All of the Automatic cycles

use an Electronic Sensor Dry control that

senses the amount of moisture in the load.

FabticlTemp

Your Automatic cycle(s) shuts off when the

selected dryness is reached. The Cycle

Control Knob will not move until the load is

almost dry. After the cool-down and the

FINISH GUARD@ portion of the cycle (if

selected), the Knob automatically turns to an

OFF area and tumbling stops.

l If the load is drier than you like, select a

setting closer to LESS DRY the next time

you dry a similar load.

l If the load is not as dry as you like, com-

plete drying using the Timed Drying cycle.

Select a setting closer to VERY DRY the

next time you dry a similar load.

Timed Drying Cycle

Use the Timed Drying cycle (high, medium,

or low heat) to complete drying if some

items are damp after Automatic drying.

Timed Drying is also useful for:

l Delicate items and small loads that need

a short drying time.

l Bulky items and large loads that require a

long drying time.

Damp Dry Feature

Use the Damp Dry feature in the Timed

Drying cycle to dry items to damp level, or to

dry items that do not require an entire drying

cycle. Two examples are heavy cottons,

such as jeans, which you do not want to

become stiff, or cotton clothes which are

easier to press when damp.

TUMBLE PRESS” Feature

The TUMBLE PRESS feature in the Timed

Drying cycle removes wrinkles from clothes

that have been packed in a suitcase or

closet, or from items not removed from the

dryer at the end of a cycle. As soon as the

dryer stops, fold or put the items on hangers.

Fluff Air Cycle

The Fluff Air cycle has no heat. Use this

unheated cycle to fluff or air dry bedding,

plastic tablecloths, foam pillows, sneakers,

etc. See page 10 for more information about

the Fluff Air cycle.

FINISH GUARD@ feature

When you are unable to remove a load from

the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can

form. The FINISH GUARD feature tumbles

the load without heat every few minutes up

to 45 minutes after the cycle ends. This

tumbling rearranges and fluffs the load to

avoid wrinkles.

The FINISH GUARD feature is available in

all of the Automatic cycles and the Timed

Drying cycle. Simply turn the FINISH

GUARD Selector to On or Off. If the Selec-

tor is On and you do not open the dryer door

within a few minutes after the cycle stops,

the FINISH GUARD feature takes over to

protect the load.

A signal sounds every few minutes when

FINISH GUARD is running. The signal and

cycle stop when you open the dryer door.

FInIshQuad

Timed Drying

For most loads, use an Automatic cycle

(see page 7). If you choose not to use an

Automatic cycle, then use the Timed Drying

chart below as a guideline. Remember to

always follow care label directions when
