Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or

injury to persons when using your dryer, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using your

dryer.

• Dryer must be electrically grounded. See

the Installation Instructions.

• Do not machine wash or machine dry

items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or

spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, dry

cleaning solvents, or other flammable

fluids. The fumes can create a fire

hazard or explosion. Always hand wash

and line dry items containing these

materials.

• Do not wash or dry items that are soiled

with vegetable or cooking oil. These

items may contain some oil after laun-

dering. Due to the remaining oil, the

fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

• Store flammable solvents or fluids away

from your dryer.

with, or crawl inside your dryer. Supervise

children when your dryer is used near

children.

• Do not reach into a dryer if the drum

is moving.

• Install and/or store dryer where it will not

be exposed to the weather.

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Do not dry rubber, rubber-like, or heat-

• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off

electrical power before attempting to

service your dryer. Also, shut off gas

valve if you have a gas dryer.

•When removing from service or discard-

ing a dryer, always remove the door to

prevent accidental entrapment.

Operating Your Dryer

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

to "Laundry Tips" on page 17 for additional information on sorting, loading, and drying most

types of washables.

Before starting your dryer

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum

with a damp cloth to remove

dust from storing and shipping.

Your dryer may have a Dryer Features

Guide (usually located on top

of the dryer). Remove it and

place it with your Use and

Care Guide. The Features

Guide provides you with more

information about your dryer.

Starting your dryer

1. Load clothes into the dryer and close

the door.

2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

_ esired cycle. Use the Energy

Preferred Automatic Setting (.)

to dry most loads (see page 7).

3. If your dryer has a Temperature Selector,

set it to the desired setting

II_ _1 (see page 9). Some dryer

_" "" models have either a rotary

Oknob or pushbutton Tempera-

ture Selector.

4. Push the Start Button.

NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when

a cycle ends.

Stopping/restarting your dryer

You can stop your dryer anytime during

a cycle.

To stop the dryer, either:

•Open the dryer door.

oTurn 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 the right 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

•Always follow care label directions when

they are available.

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

plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics

(see page 10).

• The last few minutes of all cycles are without

heat to make the load easier to handle.

• 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.

• Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static

cling, and damage to some fabrics.

•Refer to pages 17-20 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 using the Energy Preferred

Automatic Setting (.). Your Automatic

cycle(s) shuts offwhen the

selected dryness is

reached. The Cycle

Control Knob will not move

until the load isalmost dry.

After the cool-down, the

Knob automatically turns

to an OFF area and

tumbling stops.

• Ifthe 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:

• Some Automatic cycles use an electronic

DRY-MISER ®control that senses the

amount of moisture in the load.

• 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 clamp

after Automatic drying.

Timed drying is also

useful for:

•Delicate items and

small loads that need

a shortdrying time.

•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

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

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:

•Be sure to follow the instructions on page

12 for installing the drying rack in your

dryer and placing items on the rack.

• Use the chart on page 12 to determine

temperatures and drying times.

• 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.
