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.

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 into dryer and shut door.

3. Rotate the dial to select either an Automatic or Manual Cycle

then press the CONTROL ON button. The preset settings and
drying time for the cycle chosen will be displayed.

To use an Automatic Cycle

Point the dial to an Automatic Cycle.

Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the
load to be. The time displayed is an estimated length of
the cycle based on the Dryness Level 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 More Time or Less Time buttons will cause a triple beep,
indicating that the time cannot be changed.
