DRYER USE

Starting Your Dryer

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.

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.

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

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

2.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 heavyweight and medium weight loads. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”

3.Select the End of Cycle Signal, if available. The signal is helpful when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly remove these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to prevent wrinkles. The End of Cycle Signal is part of the PUSH TO START button. Turn the PUSH TO START button to ON or OFF.

4.Push the START button.

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.

2.Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
