OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating Your Dryer
(Mesh bag not included.)
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
1 Prepare load for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction
in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa-
rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been re-
moved in washing. Repeat stain removal process
and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may
permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate or small
items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure buckles,
buttons and trim are
heatproof and won’t
damage the drum
fi nish. Close zip-
pers, button buttons,
fasten hooks and Velcro ® -like fasteners. Tie strings
and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
2 Check that the lint fi lter is clean and in place.
3 Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will
fi ll the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on
top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying
and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three
similar items to improve tumbling action.
4
Select the appropriate cycle and settings for
each load.
• See Dryer Operating Instructions on following
pages.
5 Start the dryer.
• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate
with the door open.
• Push in or turn the cycle selector knob or turn any
option knob to “wake” the dryer. You will hear three
beeps to indicate dryer is ready to operate.
• After making your selections, push in the selec-
tor knob to start the cycle. You will hear one beep
before the drum begins to rotate.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running,
push in the cycle selector knob to pause the cycle
and open the door. Opening the door with a cycle
running will also pause the cycle. You will hear two
beeps. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop
before reaching inside. Add or remove the item,
close the door and push in the selector knob again,
continuing the current cycle.
• To cancel a running cycle, push in and hold the
cycle selector until the dryer discontinues running.
• A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the
chime option has been selected.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-
ately and hang or fold.
Í NOTE
If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a
comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle
and turn it “inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness.
Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.
