Operating Your Dryer

The information in this section helps you learn to use your dryer efficiently and safely. Refer

to “Laundry Tips” on page 13 for additional information on sorting, loading, and drying most

types of washables.

NOTE: Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from

storing and shipping.

Starting your dryer

1. Load clothes into the dryer and close

the door.

2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

desired cycle and setting.

Use the Energy Preferred

Automatic Setting b) to dry

-I most loads. (See pages 7

and 8 for cycle descriptions.)

3. If your dryer has a Temperature

Selector, set It to the desired

setting (see page 9). Some

dryer models have either a

rotary knob or pushbutton

Temperature Selector.

4. Push the Start Button.

NOTE: Your dryer stops auto-

matically when a cycle ends.

Stopping/restarting your dryer

You can stop your dryer anytime during

a cycle.

To stop the dryer, either:

l Open the dryer door.

l 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 the dryer:

1. Close the door.

2. Select a new cycle and temperature

(if desired).

3. Push the Start Button.

Selecting a cycle and setting

The following pages describe the cycles on

your dryer. Refer to the charts on pages 9-10

for help in selecting drying cycles.

Drying guidelines

l Always follow care label directions when

they are available.

l Use the Fluff Air cycle, or line dry rubber,

plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics

(see page 10).

l The last few minutes of all cycles are without

heat to make the load easier to handle.

l To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load

from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is especially important for permanent

press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

l Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static

cling, and damage to some fabrics.

l Refer to pages 13-l 6 for

information about:

- sorting clothes for drying

- choosing load sizes

-drying tips

- using dryer fabric softeners

- saving energy

- drying special-care items.

Cycle descriptions

Automatic cycle(s)

Dry most loads uslng the Energy

Preferred Automatic Settlng (t).

Your Automatic cycle(s) shuts off when the

selected dryness is

reached. The Cycle

Control Knob will not

move until the load is

almost dry. After the

cool-down, the knob auto-

matically turns to an Off

area and tumbling stops.

l If the load is drier than you like, select a

setting closer to Less Dry the next time

you dry a similar load.

. If the load is not as dry as you like, com-

plete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a

setting closer to Very Dry the next time you

dry a similar load.

Some models offer high heat and low heat

Automatic cycles (see page 9).

NOTES:

l Some Automatic cycles use an electronic

Dry-Miser@ control that senses the amount

of moisture in the load.

l Other Automatic cycles use an automatic

Dry-Miser control that senses the exhaust

temperature and determines the dryness

of the load.

Timed cycle(s)

Use a Timed cycle to complete drying if

some items are damp

after Automatic drying.

Timed drying is also

useful for:

l Delicate items and

small loads that need

a short drying time.

l Bulky items and large

loads that require a

long drying time.

Some models offer high heat and low heat

Timed cycles (see page 9).

Fluff Air cycle

(on some models)

The Fluff Air cycle has no heat. Use this un-

heated cycle to fluff or air

dry bedding, plastic table-

cloths, foam pillows,

sneakers, etc. See page

10 for more information

about the Fluff Air cycle.

NOTE: If your model

does not have the Fluff

Air cycle, line dry heat-sensitive items.

Heavy Dry cycle

(on some models)

Use Heavy Dry and a high heat setting to

- dry large items or items

that are thicker or heavier

than a regular load (such

as heavy cotton bath

sheets or robes).

Damp

Dry cycle

(on some models)

Use Damp Dry to dry items to damp level or

to dry items that do not

require an entire drying

cycle. Two examples

are heavy cottons, such

as jeans, which you do

not want to become stiff,

or cotton clothes which

are easier to press when

I damp.

TUMBLE PRESS@ cycle

(on some models)

The TUMBLE PRESS cycle removes

wrinkles from clothes that

have been packed in a

suitcase or closet, or

from items not removed

from the dryer at the end

of a cycle. As soon as

the dryer stops, fold or

put the items on hangers.

Towels feature

(on some models)

When you have large loads of towels to dry,

you may want to use the

Towels feature in the

Automatic cycle. The

Towels setting allows for

more drying time and

automatically shuts off

the dryer when the

selected dryness is

reached. The Towels

feature also can be used for extra heavy

items such as mattress pads and quilts.

FINISH GUARD@ feature

(on some models)

When you are unable to remove a load from

I the dryer as soon as it

stops, wrinkles can form.

The FINISH GUARD

feature tumbles the load

without heat every few

minutes up to 45 minutes

after the cycle ends. This

tumbling rearranges and

fluffs the load to avoid

wrinkles. You do not have to set the Cycle

Control Knob for the FINISH GUARD

feature. If you do not open the dryer door

within a few minutes after the cycle stops,

the FINISH GUARD feature takes over to

protect the load.

A signal sounds every few minutes when

FINISH GUARD is running. The signal and

cycle stop when you open the dryer door.

NOTE: See page 11 if your model has a

FINISH GUARD On/Off selector.

Rack Dry feature

(on some models)

You may want to dry some items without

tumbling (such as wool

sweaters, stuffed toys, or

pillows). Use the drying

rack (see page 12) and

the Rack Dry feature for

these items, and a low

temperature setting.

During the drying cycle,

the drum turns, but the

rack does not move. Drying time depends

on the amount of moisture in the items.

NOTES:

l Be sure to follow the instructions on page

12 for installing the drying rack in your

dryer and placing items on the rack.

l Use the chart on page 12 to determine

temperatures and drying times.

l You may use either the Timed cycle or

Fluff Air cycle for rack drying.

Drying cycles chart

Use the chart below to help you make

drying selections. The chart suggests heat

settings and drying times for various loads.

NOTES:

Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.

Use a Timed cycle only if the recom-

mended Automatic cycle is not available.

The check mark (J) in the chart below

denotes recommended temperature

settings. If some types of loads in the

chart have more than one suggested

temperature setting, choose the lowest

setting available on your dryer.

Always follow care label directions when

they are available.
