How To Use Your Dryer ...
Determine Proper
Cycle
Your dryer provides you with
three (3) drying cycles to select
from:
• Automatic Permanent Press/
Knits
• Automatic Regular - Delicate
• Time Dry
Automatic Cycles
The timer knob will not advance
with the same regularity in the
AUTOMATIC cycle as it does in
the TIME cycle.
For example, you may notice the
timer knob remains in the same
position for 15 minutes before it
begins to move. THE TIMER IS
NOT MALFUNCTIONING. This
only means it took 15 minutes for
the load to become dry enough to
start advancing the timer knob.
The length of time it takes for the
timer knob to begin advancing
depends on the type and size of
load being dried.
Automatic Permanent Press/
Knits
Use this setting for permanent
press, polyester knits, heavy and
medium weight synthetics that are
"no iron".
The COOL TUMBLE portion of
this cycle is a cool-down (no heat)
period. The end of cycle signal
(if selected) will buzz for
approximately five minutes after
the first five minutes of tumbling
with no heat. If the clothes are not
removed at this time, the dryer
will continue to tumble with no
heat for approximately 16
minutes. During this time the
signal will buzz for approximately
30 seconds at the end of each
four and a half minutes of tumble
until the end of the cycle, or for a
total cool-down period of 26
minutes.

Check garment care labels for
proper dryer setting. At first, set
indicator toward center of drying
zone. You may find you will get
better results for your loads by
setting the indicator to either side.
Turn timer knob to a lower setting
(clockwise) for less drying, or to a
higher setting for more drying.
IMPORTANT: The heat on the
DELICATE setting is not
sufficient to remove wrinkles from
permanent press.
Always use the SIGNAL with the
AUTOMATIC PERMANENT
PRESS/KNITS cycle. Remove
load immediately upon
completing cycle. This reduces
wrinkling.
