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. 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. 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 zippers, button but- tons, fasten hooks and Velcro®-like fasteners. (Mesh bag not included.) Tie strings and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling. 2 Check that the lint filter is clean and in place. • Turn the cycle selector knob in either direction to select the cycle desired. • A suitable dryness level and options will automatically be indicated for the cycle selected. See the Dryer Settings Chart for more details. • To change the settings, rotate the temp knob and press the dryness and options 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 selected. It will no longer be lighted when the option has been deleted. Í 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. • Adjustments made to a cycle will be remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. • To return to factory settings, press the pause/cancel and select buttons at the same time and hold until the signal sounds. 3 Load the dryer and close the door. • Load items loosely. The av- erage 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. Í NOTE Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness and a build up of static electricity. Press and hold both for ten seconds to return to factory settings. 5 Start the cycle. • 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. • Close the door and press Start to resume the cycle. 6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi- ately and hang or fold. IMPORTANT Clean the lint filter after every load. 5
