OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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. Sepa- rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint. • Check for stains which may not have been re- moved in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently set some stains. • Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag. • Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heatproof and won't damage the drum finish. Close zip- (Mesh bag not included.) pers, button buttons, 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. 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. • 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. • See Dryer Operating Instructions on following pages. 5 Start the dryer. • Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with the door open. • Push in or turn the cycle selector knob or turn any option knob to "wake" the dryer. You will hear three beeps to indicate dryer is ready to operate. • After making your selections, push in the selector knob to start the cycle. You will hear one beep before the drum begins to rotate. • To add or remove items when the dryer is running, push in the cycle selector knob to pause the cycle and open the door. Opening the door with a cycle running will also pause the cycle. You will hear two beeps. Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before reaching inside. Add or remove the item, close the door and push in the selector knob again, continuing the current cycle. • To cancel a running cycle, push in and hold the cycle selector until the dryer discontinues running. • A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the chime option has been selected. Í 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. 6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi- ately and hang or fold. IMPORTANT Clean the lint filter after every load. 6
