DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
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.
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.
