DRYER USE

Starting Your Dryer

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all the cycles and features described.

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.

1.Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”

2.Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.

3.Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting to dry most heavy to medium weight fabrics.

4.(OPTIONAL) If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See Dryer Cycle Descriptions (separate sheet) for temperature suggestions. On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.

5.(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE PREVENT setting. When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.

6.(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal as part of the Push To Start button. This signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops. Turn the PUSH TO START button to ON or OFF. The signal will sound only if the selector is set to On.

7.If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

8.Press PUSH TO START.

Stopping and Restarting

You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.

To stop your dryer

Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.

NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when the dryer is not in use.

To restart your dryer

Close the door. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired). Press PUSH TO START.

How Automatic Drying Works

During the Automatic Drying Cycle, the exhaust temperature of the dryer determines the drying time and dryness levels. A thermostat signals the Cycle Control Knob when to move into Cool Down. The drying time for an Automatic Drying Cycle depends on load type and load size. When you are drying a large or heavy load, the Cycle Control Knob may take a long time before it begins to advance into Cool Down. Automatic Drying Cycle takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care. The amount of time that is displayed is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.
