How to Use Your Dryer . . .
The timer knob will not advance
with the same regularity in the
AUTOMATIC cycle as it does in
the TIME DRY cycle.
For example, you may notice the
timer knob remains in the same
position for 15 minutes before it
begins to move. THE TIMER IS
NOT MALFUNCTIONING. This
only means it took 15 minutes for
the load to become dry enough to
start advancing the timer knob.
The length of time it takes for the
timer knob to begin advancing
depends on the type and size of
load being dried.

Hint: Set timer based on
previous load types and
sizes. If load is too dry,
set timer closer to Less
Dry mark. If load is too g,
wet, set timer closer to
More Dry mark.
Cool-Down Periods
The AUTOMATIC REGULAR and
AUTOMATIC DELICATE cycles
have a five minute cool-down
period at the end of the cycle.
During that time, the load is
tumbled with no heat. This helps
reduce wrinkling. Setting the timer
knob in a COOL-DOWN position
will result in the load being
tumbled with no heat. Do not
remove load until COOL-DOWN
period is complete and dryer
stops. The signal (if selected) will
buzz for the final 10-25 seconds of
the cool-down.
Automatic Permanent
Press/Knits Cycle
Use this setting for permanent
press, polyester knits, heavy and
medium weight synthetics that are
“no-iron”.
The COOL TUMBLE portion of this
cycle is a 10 minute cool-down
(no heat) period. The end of cycle
signal (if selected) will buzz for the
last 10-25 seconds of cool-down. If
clothes are not removed at that
time, the timer will advance into
the Cool Tumble cycle, where the
signal will buzz 10-25 seconds
every five minutes of the 15 minute
cycle before dryer stops.

load immediately upon completing
cycle. This reduces wrinkling.
