Safety Instructions

PRESS GUARD

OFF SET

Press Guard—On some models

Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides approximately 15 minutes of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are dry.

This option can only be used with the Automatic cycles.

If the Cycle Signal knob is selected, the Signal will sound at the end of the drying time and will sound several times during the PRESS GUARD cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes.

If you selected the PRESS GUARD option the signal will sound at the end of the drying time and will sound several times during the PRESS GUARD cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes.

NOTE:

Remove garments promptly at the sound of the signal. Place clothes on hangers so wrinkles won’t set in.

Use the Cycle Signal especially when drying fabrics like polyester knits and permanent press. These fabrics should be removed so wrinkles won’t set in.

Troubleshooting Tips

Drum Lamp—On some models

Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect the dryer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker. Reach above dryer opening from inside the drum. Remove the bulb and replace with the same size bulb.

Customer Service

Drying Rack—On some models

A handy drying rack may be used for drying articles such as stuffed toys, pillows or washable sweaters.

Hook the rack over the lint filter so the rack extends into the dryer drum.

NOTE:

The drying rack must be used with the

TIMED CYCLE.

Do not use this drying rack when there are other clothes in the dryer.
