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
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
and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also
affect drying time.

- FIRE HAZARD - To avoid fi re hazard, do not
use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rub-
ber, plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use
the Timed Dry cycle and the Air Fluff/No Heat setting.
Always follow directions on fabric care labels.
The whites-high heat, casual-medium heat, and
delicates-low heat temperature settings may be used
with any cycle setting. The air fl uff-no heat setting can be
used only in the Timed Dry cycle. Air fl uff-no heat setting
tumbles the load without heat. Use air fl uff to freshen
clothing, pillows or blankets, or to dust draperies.
Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer correctly. •
Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature and •
cycle settings. Choose an automatic dry cycle whenever
possible for accurate drying time.
Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads usually take
•
longer to dry.
Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a partially dry load,
•
and overdrying.
Dry one load after another to take advantage of a warm dryer.
•
Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to escape, •
which prolongs drying time.
If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.
•
Install the dryer in an area where the room temperature is •
at least 45°F (7°C).
