USING YOUR DRYER

End of cycle signal

The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when the cycle is finished. The signal is not adjustable and cannot be turned off.

The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press, synthetics, and other items that should be taken out as soon as the dryer stops.

Selecting the right cycle and setting

The following pages describe the cycles on your dryer. Refer to the chart on page 17 for help in selecting drying cycles.

Cycle and temperature tips

•Make sure you have selected the correct cycle and temperature for your load.

•Use the Air cycle, or line dry rubber, plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics

•The last few minutes of all cycles are without heat to make the load cooler to handle.

Drying tips

•Always follow care label directions when they are available.

•Always use fabric softener sheets labeled as dryer safe and follow package instructions carefully.

•Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
