Operating Your Dryer, continued

2Check that the lint filter is clean and 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

To select or delete an option, press Options; then, while the indicator is blinking, press Select. The indicator will light when the option has been se- lected. It 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 the Start/Pause and Select buttons at the same time and hold until the signal sounds.

Press and hold both for ten seconds to return to factory settings.

5Start the cycle.

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.

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

IMPORTANT

Clean the lint filter after every load.
