DRYER USE

Loading

Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely. The following charts show examples
of balanced loads that would allow for proper tumbling.

Starting YourDryer

This booklet 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.
Starting Rotary Models
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 setting to
dry most heavy to medium weight fabrics.
3. 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.
4. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE SHIELD™
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.
5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal. The
signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed
from the dryer as soon as it stops.
■On some models, the volume of the End of Cycle signal
can be adjusted. Turn the selector to the desired volume.
■On other models, the End of Cycle signal is part of the
Start button and is selectable. Turn the START button to
ON or OFF. The signal will sound only if the selector is set
to On.
6. Select the desired Option. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions”
(separate sheet).
7. If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
8. Push the START button.
