HOW TO USE

OPERATING THE DRYER

1LOAD THE DRYER

Load the dryer with the wet laundry from the washer. If the load is extra large, you may need to divide it into smaller loads for proper performance and fabric care.

2CLEAN THE LINT FILTER

If the lint filter has not already been cleaned, lift out the filter and

remove the lint from the last load. This will help ensure the fastest and most efficient drying performance.

3TURN ON THE DRYER

Press the POWER button to turn ON the dryer. The cycle LEDs will illuminate and a chime will sound.

4SELECT A CYCLE

Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction until the LED for the

desired cycle is illuminated. The preset temperature, dry level, and option settings for that cycle will display.

5

SELECT CYCLE MODIFIERS

 

Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if

desired.

NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available with all cycles. Temperature can only be adjusted on Timed Dry cycles; Dry Level is only available on Auto Dry cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not illuminate if the selection is not allowed.

6

SELECT CYCLE OPTIONS

 

Cycle options can be added using the option buttons.

NOTE: Not all options or modifiers are available with all cycles. A different chime will sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.

7BEGIN CYCLE

Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time by opening the door or by pressing the START/

PAUSE button. If the cycle is not restarted within four minutes of being paused, the dryer will shut off and the settings will be lost.

8 END OF CYCLE

When the cycle is finished, a chime will sound. Immediately remove your clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If WRINKLE GUARD is selected, the dryer will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the clothes.
