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.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-Wrinkle helps prevent wrinkles that form when clothes are not removed promptly at the end of a cycle. Anti-Wrinkle tumbles the load every minute until the cycle knob is set to the Stop position or the dryer door is opened.

During Anti-Wrinkle, the End of Cycle Signal will sound until the cycle knob is set to the Stop position or the dryer door is opened.

TemperatureControl

Temperature Control Button

The Temperature Control button lets you select between a normal and low drying temperature.

NOTE: Always refer to the care label on the garment to determine whether it can be tumble dried.

Normal

The Normal temperature setting is for sturdy fabrics, such as cotton, linen and denim. If the Temperature Control button is not pressed in, the temperature setting is Normal.

Low

The Low setting is for synthetics, such as cotton/polyester blend, rayon, acetate, washable silk or nylon. If the Temperature Control button is pressed in, the temperature setting is Low.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

2.Open lint screen.

3.Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
