Operating Instructions

Operating Your Dryer

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to

i

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.

Prepare load for drying.

Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load.

Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa- rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.

Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains.

Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.

Be sure buckles, but- tons and trim are heat- proof and won't dam- age the drum finish.

and tangling.

 

 

2 Check that the lint filter

is clean and in place.

3 Load 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.

4 Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.

NOTE

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

Press the POWER button turn on the unit.

Scroll in either direction to select the cycle desired.

The estimated cycle time, suitable drying temperature, dryness level and the number of options will auto- matically be indicated for the cycle selected. See the Dryer Settings Chart for more details.

To change the settings, press the Temperature or Dry Level buttons to enter the cycle settings screen. Make your desired adjustments and press the Back button.

To change options, press the Options button to enter the options screen. A check mark will indicate each option has been selected. To deselect an option, sim- ply press a checked option and the check mark will be removed.

To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press POWER to cancel the current cycle, press POWER to turn on unit again, select a new cycle, and press

START again.

Close the door and press _ START to resume the cycle.

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the Chime preference is activated.
