How to Use Your Dryer . . .
The timer knob will not advance
with the same regularity in the
AUTOMATIC cycle as it does in
the TIME DRY 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.

Hint: Set timer based on
previous load types and
sizes. If load is too dry,
set timer closer to Less
Dry mark. If load is too
wet, set timer closer to
More Dry mark.
Cool-Down
The AUTOMATIC REGULAR/
PERMANENT PRESS cycle has a
five minute cool-down period at the
end of the cycle. During that time,
the load is tumbled with no heat.
This helps reduce wrinkling.
Setting the timer knob in the
COOL-DOWN position will result in
the load being tumbled with no
heat. Do not remove load until
COOL-DOWN period is complete
and dryer stops.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate the dryer for
the number of minutes for which it
is set (up to 100). Use for any load
desired. Use for items you might
want to remove while still damp.
Turn the timer knob for the number
of minutes required for drying.
This cycle has a five minute
cool-down (no heat) period. The
dryer will not heat if set for less
than five minutes.
