Timed Dry
Use this cycle to get up to 60 minutes of heated drying time or to
complete drying if items are still damp after the automatic cycle.
Timed Dry is also useful for:
■ Heavyweight items and work clothes that require a long
drying time.
■ Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses and knits that
require a short drying time.
See following table for recommended cycles and temperature
settings.
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.
Anti-Wrinkle
Anti-Wrinkle helps prevent wrinkles that form when clothes are
not removed promptly at the end of a cycle. Anti-Wrinkle tumbles
the load every minute until the cycle knob is set to the Stop
position or the dryer door is opened.
During Anti-Wrinkle, the End of Cycle Signal will sound until the
cycle knob is set to the Stop position or the dryer door is opened.
Temperature Control
Temperature Control Button
The Temperature Control button lets you select between a normal
and low drying temperature.
NOTE: Always refer to the care label on the garment to determine
whether it can be tumble dried.
Normal
The Normal temperature setting is for sturdy fabrics, such as
cotton, linen and denim. If the Temperature Control button is not
pressed in, the temperature setting is Normal.
Low
The Low setting is for synthetics, such as cotton/polyester blend,
rayon, acetate, washable silk or nylon. If the Temperature Control
button is pressed in, the temperature setting is Low.
DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. Clean it
before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying
time.
To clean
1. Open the door and pull the lint screen straight up.
2. Open lint screen.
3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash
screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
4. Close lint screen. Push the lint screen firmly back into place
and close the door.
