Loading your

Dryer Lint Screen

The lint screen is under the lid on

top of the dryer

Clean the lint screen betore each

load A screen that's blocked by lint

can cause longer drying times

For best drying results and energy

savings, sort dryer loads carefully.

Separate loads according fo

the type of fabric and weight For

example:

• Dry heavy fabrics (denims, towels,

cottons] separately from light fabrics

(permanent press, synthetics/,

• Separate lint givers (towels, sweat

shirts, etc,) from lint takers (synthetics,

blends, permanent press)

• Keep dark colors and light colors

separate

• Keep colorfast items away from non

colorfast faPrics,

Allow room for items to tumble

freely The load will dry taster with fewer

wrinkles

When drying permanent press,

dry smaller-than-normal loads for the

best wrinkle removal

Use a mesh bag to hold small

items such as baby socks,

Read the Dryer Guide for more

hints on sorting and loading

To remove the screen, open the

lid door and pull the screen straight

out. Roll the tint off the screen with your

fingers. DO NOT rinse the screen or

wash it. Wet lint is hard to remove.

When replacing the screen, push

it firmly into place, Close the lid,

UsingYourDryer

1. Put the sorted load in the dryer

and close the door tightly.

2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to

the cycle you want.

• Use the Automatic Cycles for most

loads, Start with the pointer at the

middle of an Automatic Cycle, See

page 6 for more information,

NOTE: In the Automatic Cycles, the

Cycle Control Knob does not keep

moving, It starts and stops, depend-

ing on the heat and the dryness of

the load,

• Use TIMED DRYING for drying a certain

number of minutes, or for clamp drying,

fluffing, or tumbling items without air.

3. Set TEMPERATURE SELECTOR.

•Turn the TEMPERATURESELECTOR to

the drying temperature needed for the

load See page 5 for suggested

settings.

4. Push the Start Button.

•Make sure the door isclosed and the

Cycle Control isset. If the door is

opened during the cycle, the dryer will

stop. To restart the dryer, close the

door and push the Start Button.

5. To stop the dryer:

•Open the door

• Or, turn the Cycle Control Knob to one

of the OFF positions

•To change the setting while the

dryer is running, turn the Cycle Control

Knob, either way, so it points to the set-

ting you want.

IMPORTANT: To help reduce wrin-

kling, take the load from the dryer as

soon as tumbling stops, This isvery

important for permanent press, knits

and other synthetic fabrics

Setting Drying

Times

Modern dryers are designed with

drying temperatures needed to safely

handle modern fabrics. Cool down

times have been added to heat set-

tings You might notice slightly longer

drying times

The time it takes to dry aload

depends on

*The kind of fabric its weight, and the

size of the load A large load of jeans

wilr take alot longer to dry than asmall

load of light synthetics.

•The amountofmoisture in the load

Towels hold alot of moisture; synthetics

don't. Synthetics dry faster

•Temperature of the rinse wate_ Cold

rinses help save on energy and wrinkles,

but acold load will take slightly longer

to dry than awarm one

•Amount of lint on the screen A full lint

screen slows the air flow and can make

drying time longer

• Room temperature The dryer heats

room air If the room air temperature

is not above 45 F (72 C], the automatic

cycle will not advance the timer and

shut off the dryer. Use Timed Drying as o

temporary way of drying aload Drying

times will be longer due to the cold air

Removal of wrinkles may be poor.

• Proper installation and exhaust sys

terns For the fastest possible drying

time, installing and exhausting your

dryer properly is important, See installa

tion instructions,

Be careful not to overdry. Overdry-

ing can cause shrinkage, damage

to some fabrics and static cling.

Automatic Settings

With AUTOMATrC REGULAR and

AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS, you

select how dry you want the load to be.

When the load is as dry as the setting

you have selected, the Cycle Control

wil! advance toward ending the cycle,

Use the AUTOMATIC REGULAR

Cycle to dry most family Poads, During

the last five minutes of the drying cycle,

the load is tumbred without heat. This

helps make the load easier to handle,

Use the AUTOMATIC PERMANENT

PRESS Cycle to dry permanent press,

knits and other synthetic fabrics The last

10 minutes of the drying cycle are wi_h

out heat This cool-down time helps

keep wrinkles from setting in.

For the first few roads, set the

Cycle Control Knob to point in the mid

die between VERY DRY and LESS DRY,

FLUFF AIR should be used for such

items as plastic shower curtains or

tablecloths, rubber-backed rugs, some

items in the load If they are about how

you like them, keep using this setting

If the items are drier than you like,

use asetting nearer LESS DRY or COOL

DOWN the next tJme you dry aload !ike

that. If the items are not as dry as you

want, use asetting nearer VERY DRY the

next time you dry aload like that,

After drying afew loads, you will

find a favorite setting to use,

FLUFFAIR

This temperature setting is useful

for fluffing bedding, pillows and cloth-

ing, or dusting drapes. It is also best

to use when damp-drying heat-sensitive

items.

• Set TEMPERATURESELECTOR fo

PERM'TPRESSMED or HEAVY HIGH

• Push the Start Button

only a few items at a time; put them on

hangers or fold them as soon as the

drying permanent press, synthetics

and other items lhat reallyshould be

taken out as soon as the dryer stops

The signal can't be turned off and

_tis not adjustable

If You Need

Service or

Assistance, We

Suggest You Follow

These Four Steps:

1. Before calllng for asslstance...

Performance problems often

result from little things you can find and

fix yourself without tools of any kind.

DRYER DOES NOT RUN:

•Is electric power

cord plugged in?

•Is the dryer door

closed tightly? Your dryer

has a switch by the door that

shuts off the dryer if the door is opened.

• Did you push the

Start Button?

• Check circuit breakers

or both fuses in the fuse

box.

DRYER RUNS BUT DOES NOT HEAT:

• Is the Cycle Control Knob set cor-

rectly? (The last 5 minutes are cool-

down time in AUTOMATIC REGULAR;

the last 10 minutes in AUTOMATIC

PERMANENT PRESS are without heat]

• Is it a gas dryer? See if the gas is

turned on, If not, turn the Cycle Con-

trol Knob to OFF. Turn on the gas

and wait five minutes for the auto-

matic switch to reset. Then try starting

it again.

• Is it an electric dryer? Check the

circuit breakers or fuses in the fuse

box. An electric dryer wil! have two

fuses. If one is blown, the dryer may

run, but not heat.

DRYING TIME ISLONGER THAN USUAL:

• Check the lint screen. Remove lint.

Keep the screen clean for best

drying results and times.

• Modern dryers are designed to dry

at the cooler temperatures needed

by modern fabrics They may need

more time than you are used to.

• Room temperature is cold.
