Timed Dry

Use this cycle to get up to 60 minutes of heated drying time or to complete drying if items are still damp after the automatic cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for:

Heavyweight items and work clothes that require a long drying time.

Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses and knits that require a short drying time.

The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when the cycle is complete. The signal is not adjustable and cannot be turned off. The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press, synthetics, and other items that should be removed promptly at the end of the cycle.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-Wrinkle helps smooth out wrinkles that form when clothes are not removed promptly at the end of a cycle. Anti-Wrinkle tumbles the load every minute until the cycle knob is set to the Stop position or the dryer door is opened.

During Anti-Wrinkle, the End of Cycle Signal will sound until the cycle knob is set to the Stop position or the dryer door is opened.

DRYER CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

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

Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor for a garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. Clean it before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean

1.Open the door and pull the lint screen straight up.

2.Open lint screen.

3.Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4.Close lint screen. Push the lint screen firmly back into place and close the door.
