OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint fi lter after every load.
2
Check that the lint fi lter is
clean and in place.
Í NOTE
Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint,
harshness and a build up of static electricity.
Í NOTE
If a setting is not available for the cycle selected, the
indicator will not light.
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.
• 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 options; then,
while the indicator is blinking, press select. The
indicator will light when the option has been se-
lected. It will no longer be lighted when the option
has been deleted.
• 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 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
selected. See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more
details.

6
When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-
ately and hang or fold.

comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle

fi lter in place.
