Operating instructions
Dryer cycles and settings
The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle helps
provide the special care that perma­
nent press and synthetic fabrics
need...a period of heated drying
followed by a 10 minute cool down.
The chart on page 4 suggests time
and temperature settings for different
kinds of loads.
The EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and
LIGHT cycles describe the loads
they are designed to dry. The chart
on page 4 tells what is meant by
EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and LIGHT
loads.
At each setting, the dryerwill run
about long enough to dry the load
described by the setting. Example:
The HEAVY Cycle is designed to be
long enough to dry a load of heavy
fabrics (towels, jeans, corduroys, etc.)
when the Temperature Selector is set
on PERM'T PRESS/HEAVY HIGH.
If the load is not as dry as you want,
set the dial more to the left the next
time you dry that kind of load.
If the load is dryerthan you want,
set the dial more to the right the next
time you dry that kind of load.
Cool down times
In all cycles, the heat shuts off
before the dryer stops tumbling. This
cool down time helps:
• keep wrinkles from setting in.
• make handling the hot load items
easier.
The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle has
10 minutes of cool down time at the
end of the cycle.
All other cycles have 5 minutes of
cool down time.
Overdrying can cause
shrinkage, static cling and
damage to some fabrics.
To heip reduce wrinkling, take
the toad from the dryer as soon
as tumbting stops. This is very
important for permanent press,
knits and synthetic fabrics.
