OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Adjustments made to a cycle will be remembered
and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the
future.
• Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction to
select the cycle desired. The indicator for that cycle
will be illuminated.
• The estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or
the actual drying time for Timed Dry cycles will be
displayed.
• A suitable drying temperature, dryness level and
options will automatically be indicated for the cycle se-
lected. See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more details.
• To change the drying temperature and dryness
level, press the temp or dry level buttons to scroll
to the desired settings.
• To select or delete an option, press the button for
that option. The indicator will be illuminated when
the option has been selected. The indicator will no
longer be lighted when the option has been deleted.

5 Start the cycle.
• Close the door and press START to begin the
cycle. The dryer will not operate with the door
open. To interrupt the cycle, press pause; press
START to resume the cycle. Press cancel to stop
the cycle.
• If changes to the cycle, temperature, dryness level
or options are attempted after the cycle starts, the
lights will blink and a signal will beep.
• To change the cycle once the cycle has begun,
press cancel and select a new cycle. To change
the temperature, dryness level or options once the
cycle has begun, press pause and make the new
selections.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running,
open the door. The dryer will stop when the door
is opened. Allow the drum to come to a complete
stop before reaching inside.

chime option has been selected.
To return to factory
settings, press these
two buttons at the
same time and
hold until the signal
sounds.
6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-
ately and hang or fold.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load. CLEAN FILTER
will be displayed at the end of the cycle to remind you
to remove lint from the fi lter.
CAUTION
Do not operate dryer without
lint fi lter in place.
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.
NOTE
If a setting is not available for the cycle selected, the
indicator will not light.
NOTE
Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint,
harshness and a build up of static electricity.
