This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
2. Turn the Cycle Selector Control to the recommended cycle
for the type of load being dried. Use the Normal Dry cycle,
called out by an asterisk (*) to dry most heavy to medium
weight fabrics.
3. Set the Temperature control, to the recommended setting for
the type of fabric being dried. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions”
(separate sheet) for temperature suggestions.
4. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE GUARD®
feature selector. When you are unable to remove a load from
the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without
heat to help avoid wrinkling.
5. (OPTIONAL) If you want the dryer to sound a signal when the
cycle is finished, set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL control to
ON, or to the volume level you prefer (on some models). The
signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press,
synthetics and other items that should be removed from the
dryer as soon as it stops.
6. If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Use only ones labeled
as dryer safe. Follow package instructions.
7. Press the PUSH TO START button.
