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. 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).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance. This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described. The following is a guide to starting 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 in dryer and shut door. 3. Press the POWER button then rotate the dial to select either an Automatic or Manual Cycle. The preset settings and drying time for the cycle chosen will be displayed. NOTE: A default 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 default 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 Automatic Cycle NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected. ■ Press the POWER button. ■ Rotate the dial to select an Automatic Cycle. ■ Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load to be. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected Dryness Level. NOTE: Most loads may be dried using Normal, which is shown in boldface type on your control panel. Normal is the energy preferred dryness level and will use the least energy. The default dryness setting is Normal when an Auto Dry Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal or Less. Selecting More, Normal or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle. The Dryness Level can be changed only with Automatic Cycles. ■ Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button if this option is desired. ■ Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle signal volume to desired level. ■ Press the DAMP DRY CYCLE SIGNAL button to set damp dry signal volume to desired level. 17
