Starting Your Dryer

WARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.

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 book covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of 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. ENERGY PREFERRED Sensor Dry setting is indicated on the timer dial, between the words MORE DRY and LESS DRY. Use this ENERGY PREFERRED cycle to dry most heavy- to
4.Set the Temperature control to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See Dryer Cycle Descriptions (separate sheet) for temperature suggestions.
5.(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE PREVENT feature selector. 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) If you want the dryer to sound a signal when the cycle is finished, set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL control to ON. The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press, synthetics and other items that should be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.
7.If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
8.Press the PUSH TO START button.
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
1.Close the door.
2.Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
3.Press the PUSH TO START button.
How Sensor Dry Works
When you are using the Sensor Dry Cycle, the dryness of the load is determined by two metal strips (sensors) located on the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help “feel” the amount of moisture left in the clothes as they tumble. When moisture is left in the clothes, the Cycle Control knob will not advance. As clothes begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes decreases, and the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle. When the selected dryness level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.
