Operating Instructloos

Continued

More drying time lass drying Unw

Theregularcycles

The names of the regular cycles

describe the types of loads they are

designed to dry. Each cyde is folbwed

by a 5 minute cool-down period.

During the cool-down, the bad

tumbles wfthout heat. This helps make

the bad easier to handle.

Use EX HEAVY to dry items such as

bedspreads, mattress pads and quilts.

Use HEAVY to dry items such as

towels, jeans, mrduroys and work

clothes.

Use MED to dry items such as sheets,

pillowcases, cotton underwear and

diapers.

Use LIGHT to dry batistes, organdies

and lingerie.

For the first few bads, set the Cycle

Control Knob to point to one of the

lines between any of the cycles. When

the dryer stops, feel the dried items.

l lf the kerns are drier than you like,

set the Cycle Control Knob more to

the right the next time you dry a

similar bad.

l tf kerns are not as dry as you like,

set the Cycle Control Knob more to

the bft the next time you dry a

similar bad.

NOTE: Overdrying can cause shrink-

age, static cling and damage to some

fabrics.

T$‘ERMANENTPRESS

The PERMANENT PRESS cycle helps

provide the special care that perma-

nent press and synthetic fabrics need.

The cyde consists of a timed period of

heated drying and a 10 minute cool-

down period. During the cool-down,

the bad tumbles without heat. This

helps keep wrinkles from setting and

makes the load easier to handle.

NOTE: To help reduce wrinkling,

remove the bad from the dryer as

soon as tumbling stops. This is

important for permanent press, knits

and synthetic fabrics.

UsingFLUFFAIR

Flre Hazard

Do not dry plastic or rubber

items with heat. Use FLUFF AIR

setting, or line dy Failure to do

so could result In flre or dam-

aged ttems.

The dryer does not heat when the

Temperature Selector is set on FLUFF

AIR. This setting can be used to flufl or

air dry bedding, plastic tablecbths,

foam rubber pillows. stuffed toys,

sneakers, etc.

1. Turn the Temperature Selector to

FLUFF AIR.

2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the

desired number of minutes you

want in the PERMANENT PRESS

cycle.

3. Push the Start Button.

NOTE Repeat steps above if more

time is needed to dry items.

UsingTUMBLEPRESS

The TUMBLE PRESS setting removes

wrinkles from clothing that has been

packed in a suitcase or cbset. and

from items not removed from the dryer

at the end of a cycle.

Set the Cycle Control Knob on

TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Set the Temperature Selector on

PERM’T PRESS HEAW HIGH.

3. Push the Start Button.

The bad will tumble in heated air for

10 minutes. Then the dryer will tumble

the clothes for 10 more minutes

without heat.

For best results, put only a few

items at a time in this cycle. As soon

as the dryer stops, put the items on

hangers or fob them.

UsingDAMPDRY

Use this setting to dry damp items that

do not require an entire drying cycle,

or to dry kerns to damp level. (Two

examples are heavy cottons, such as

jeans, whii you do not want to

become stiff, or cotton clothes which

are easier to press when damp.)

1. Set the Cycle Control Knob on

DAMP DRY.

2 Push the Start Button.

The dryer tumbles the bad with heat

for 20 minutes, then without heat for

10 minutes.

Lintsignal

Clean the lint screen before each

load. A signal will sound if you neglect

to dean your lint screen. The signal

(a whistle tone) lets you know the air

flow is restriied. Restricted air flow

reduces drying effiiiency.

Turn off the dryer and clean the lint

screen as shown on page 9.

CaringForYourDryer

Do not run the dryer wlth the lint ecreen loose,

cause overheatlng

and

damage to both the

Cleaningthelintscreen

The lint screen is located under a lid

on top of the dryer. Clean Rbefore

each load. A screen blocked by lint

can increase drying time.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out

2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash the

screen to remove lint. Wet lint is

hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into

place and close the lii.

Lintscreenmaintenance

Laundry detergents and fabric

softeners can cause a residue build-up

on the lint screen. A clogged lint

screen can extend drying times. Clean

the lint screen every six months or

more frequently if it becomes clogged

due to a residue build-up. Use the

folbwing method:

1. Wet both sides of lint screen wfth

hot water.

2. Wet a nybn brush with hot water

and liquid detergent.

3. Scrub lint screen with the brush

until all residue build-up is re-

ITlOVed.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a

clean towel and replace in dryer.
