OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating Your Dryer, continued

2 Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.

CAUTION

Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place.

3Load the dryer and close the door.

Load items loosely. The average wet load will

fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.

If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.

To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.

When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized items.

For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.

4Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.

NOTE

Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness and a build up of static electricity.

Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction to select the cycle desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.

The estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or the actual drying time for Timed Dry cycles will be displayed.

A suitable drying temperature, dryness level and options will automatically be indicated for the cycle se- lected. See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more details.

To change the drying temperature and dryness level, press the temp or dry level buttons to scroll to the desired settings.

To select or delete an option, press the button for that option. The indicator will be illuminated when the option has been selected. The indicator will no longer be lighted when the option has been deleted.

NOTE

If a setting is not available for the cycle selected, the indicator will not light.

Adjustments made to a cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future.

To return to factory settings, press these two buttons at the same time and hold until the signal sounds.

5Start the cycle.

Close the door and press START to begin the cycle. The dryer will not operate with the door open. To interrupt the cycle, press pause; press START to resume the cycle. Press cancel to stop the cycle.

If changes to the cycle, temperature, dryness level or options are attempted after the cycle starts, the lights will blink and a signal will beep.

To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press cancel and select a new cycle. To change the temperature, dryness level or options once the cycle has begun, press pause and make the new selections.

To add or remove items when the dryer is running, open the door. The dryer will stop when the door is opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside.

Close the door and press START to resume the cycle.

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime option has been selected.

NOTE

If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle and turn it “inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness. Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.

6When the cycle ends, remove items immedi- ately and hang or fold.

IMPORTANT

Clean the lint filter after every load. CLEAN FILTER will be displayed at the end of the cycle to remind you to remove lint from the filter.
