Drying tips
• Always follow care label directions when
they are available.
• Always use fabric softener sheets labeled
as dryer safe and follow package
instructions carefully.
• Remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling.
This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

End of cycle signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know
when the cycle is finished. The signal is not
adjustable and cannot be turned off. The signal is helpful when you are drying
permanent press, synthetics, and other
items that should be taken out as soon as
the dryer stops.
