DRYER USE WARNING Starting Your Dryer WARNING Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing). Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance. Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information. 1. Clean lint screen before each load. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen." 2. Place laundry into dryer and shut door. 3. Press POWER. 4. Point the dial to an Auto or Manual Cycle. The preset settings for Auto or Manual Cycles will illuminate. The estimated (auto cycle) or actual (manual) cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display. NOTE: A preset time is displayed when an automatic cycle is selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process, the cycle time may automatically vary from the preset time based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. To use an Auto Cycle ■ Select an Auto Cycle. Auto cycles will default to the last dryness setting used for that cycle. Fire Hazard No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. ■ Select DRYNESS to adjust how dry you want the load. The time displayed is an estimated length of the cycle based on the Dryness selected. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level. NOTE: Time is not adjustable for Automatic Cycles. Pressing the Timing Up or Down buttons will cause a triple beep, indicating that the time cannot be changed. To make changes to the Dryness and/or Options during an Auto Cycle: ■ Press PAUSE/CANCEL once. ■ Adjust Dryness and/or Options. NOTE: Dryness level selections can be made only while using Auto Cycles. Selecting More Dry, Normal or Less Dry automatically adjusts the sensed time needed. 18
