Starting YourDryer
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.
This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.
Starting Rotary Models
1.Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
2.Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred setting to dry most heavy to medium weight fabrics.
3.If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet) for temperature suggestions. On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.
4.(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature selector. When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
5.(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal. The signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.
■On some models, the volume of the End of Cycle signal can be adjusted. Turn the selector to the desired volume.
■On other models, the End of Cycle signal is part of the Start button and is selectable. Turn the START button to ON or OFF. The signal will sound only if the selector is set to On.
6.Select the desired Option. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet).
7.If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
8.Push the START button.
