Operating Instructions 7 Operating Your Dryer WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer. 1 Prepare load for drying. • Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load. • Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint. • Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Drying may permanently set some stains. • Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag. • Be sure buckles, but- tons and trim are heatproof (Mesh bag not included.) and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling. 2 Check that the lint filter is clean and in place and water container is empty. See also Care and Cleaning section. CAUTION Do not operate dryer without lint filter in place. 3 Load the dryer and close the door. • Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling. • Fabric softener sheets are not recommended with this condensing dryer. • 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. NOTE Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness and a build up of static electricity. • Press the Power button to turn on the unit. • Select a desired cycle by pressing its icon. • The estimated cycle time, drying temperature, dryness level and options will be indicated for the cycle selected. See the "Dryer Settings Chart" for more details. • To change the settings, press the Temperature or dryness icons to scroll to the desired settings. • To select or delete an option, press the icon 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. NOTE To provide the best care for your laundry, not every setting or option is available with every cycle. If a setting or option is not available for the cycle selected, the indicator will not light. 5 Start the dryer. • Close the door and press Start. The dryer will not operate with the door open. "Check the door" will be displayed as a reminder to close the door. • Select delay start to delay the beginning of the cycle, if desired. • To add a forgotten item to the dryer drum, press Pause and open the door. "PAUSE" will be displayed alternately with the estimated remaining cycle time. Opening the door with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. Add the item, close the door and press Start to resume the cycle. • If changes to the settings or options are attempted after the cycle starts, you will hear several beeps when the buttons are pressed. To change the settings or options, press Pause, make the new selections and press Start again. • To change the cycle once the cycle has begun, press the Power button to cancel the current cycle, press the Power button to turn on unit again, select a new cycle, and press Start again. Just pressing another cycle icon will not change the cycle. • To stop the cycle, press the Power button. • A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime option has been selected. NOTE If drying a single large or bulky item 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. 6 When the cycle ends, remove items immediately and hang or fold. IMPORTANT Clean the lint filter and empty the water container after every load.
