Before Operating Your Dryer

Read your dryer Owner's Guide. It has important safety and
warranty information. It also has many suggestions for best drying
results.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in your
dryer owner's guide before operating this appliance.

Operating Steps

Read Drying Procedures in your Owner's Guide. It explains
these operating steps in detail.
1. Prepare items for drying.
2. Check that lint screen is clean and in place.
3. Load the dryer. If desired, add a dryer fabric softener sheet.
4. Close the dryer door.
5. Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired setting.
6. Start dryer. Push the Push to Start button for 2 seconds, or
turn the Turn to Start control clockwise to ON. Hold for 1-
2 seconds and release.
7. At end of cycle, remove items immediately and hang or
fold.
8. Clean lint screen after every load.

Cycle Selection

Always follow directions on fabric care labels.
To avoid fire hazard, do not use heat to dry items
containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics, or similarly
textured, rubber-like materials. Use Cool Down (no heat) setting
only.
Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle and setting. Each
cycle ends with a cool down period. The heat automatically turns
off and the load continues to tumble for 5-10 minutes. This
reduces wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading. Drying time varies depending on size and dampness
of load, weight and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity,
type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also
affect drying time.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Timed Dry

This cycle provides up to 100 minutes of drying time at high heat
for regular and permanent press items.
When drying permanent press items, turn the cycle selector to 40-
50 minutes. This is the average time needed to dry most loads of
permanent press items.
The load tumbles without heat during the last 10 minutes of the
Timed Dry cycle. Use this setting to freshen clothing, pillows or
blankets or to dust draperies. Heat-sensitive items such as
plastics, foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials or
items containing feathers or down should be dried only with this
setting.
Auto Dry
This cycle is best for regular and permanent press items that can
be tumble dried at high heat. Drying time is determined
automatically.
This cycle is best for items of similar fabric, weight and construction.
• For items requiring more drying time, set cycle selector on
• For items requiring less drying time, set cycle selector on LESS
When the items are dry, the heat automatically turns off and the
load is tumbled for approximately 5 minutes without heat.
