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.
Select the temperature setting most suitable for each

DELICATES--LOW HEAT temperature settings may
be used with any cycle setting.
Cycle Selection
Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle and
setting.
The Automatic and Timed Dry cycles end with a cool
down period. The heat automatically turns off and
the load continues to tumble during the cool down
period. 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.
5. Set Drying Temperature control.
6. Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired
setting.
7. Start dryer. Turn the Turn to Start control
clockwise to ON. Hold for 1-2 seconds and
release.
8. A signal will sound when the cycle ends.
9. Remove items immediately and hang or
fold.
10. Clean lint screen after every load.
Temperature 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 Air Fluff-No Heat cycle only.
