easier to handle.

Use

AUTOMATIC

PERMANENT

PRESS to dry

permanent

press, knits and other synthetic fab-

rics. The load tumbles without heat

during the last 10 minutes. This helps

keep wrinkles from setting in.

For the first few loads, set the Control

Knob to point to on* in either auto-

matic cycle. When the dryer stops,

feel the dried items.

If items are drier than you like, use

a setting to the right of the* the next

time you dry a similar load.

If items are not as dry as you like,

use a setting to the left of the * the

nexttime you dry a similar load.

Timeddrying

Use the TIMED DRYING Cycle for

any load you want to dry by time. For

example: small loads, large bulky

items, items to be fluffed or dusted

with the FLUFFAIR heat setting.

Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want - from 10 to 60.

The last 5 minutes of this Cycle are

without heat - a cool-down time. This

helps make the load easier to

handle.

Drying tips

The dryer does not heat when the

Temperature Selector is set on FLUFF

AIR. This setting can be used to fluff

bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam

rubber pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers,

etc.

1. Turn the Control Knob to the number

of minutes you want in FLUFFAIR.

2. Push the STARTButton.

TUMBLE PRESS” Setting

The TUMBLE PRESSsetting removes

wrinkles from dry clothing such as

items that may have been packed

in a suitcase, closet, or items not

removed from the dryer.

1. Set Control Knob to TUMBLE PRESS.

2. Set Temperature Selector to PERM’T

PRESS/MED.

3. Push STARTButton.

The load will tumble in heated air

for 10 minutes. The heat shuts off and the

dryer continues to tumble the load

for 5 more minutes.

For best results, TUMBLE PRESSonly a

few items at a time. Put them on hang-

ers or fold them as soon as the dryer

stops.

Gentle Heat

The dryer automatically reduces the

heat setting in HEAVY HIGH and PERM’T

PRESSMED cycles. The last 7 minutes

of each of these cycles gradually

reduces the dryer temperature to a

lower heat setting. This helps prevent

overdrying.

Drying times Mixed loads

Drying times will vary depending on:

amount of moisture in the clothes.

type and weight of the fabric.

size of the load.

room temperature around the dryer.

temperature of the wash rinse water.

amount of lint in the lint screen.

dryer temperature selection.

See page 6 in your “Dryer Guide” for

more information.

When drying a load with different

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the

cycle suggested for the lightest fab-

rics When the dryer stops, remove dry

items and reset the control.

End-of-cycle signal

The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when

the cycle is finished. The signal cannot be turned

off and is not adjustable.

The signal is helpful when you are drying per-

manent press, synthetics and other items that

should be taken out as soon as the dryer stops.

@sl

Lint signal

Clean lint screen before each load. If you

neglect to clean your lint screen, the signal will

sound. The (whistle tone] signal lets you know

the air flow is being restricted. Restricted air flow

reduces drying efficiency.

Turn off the drver and clean the lint screen as

shown on page9

Lint screen

Open the lid and pull the lint screen

straight out.

Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can

increase drying time and may be a FIREHAZARD.

ROLL the lint off the screen with

your fingers.

DO NOT rinse or wash the screen.

Push the screen firmly back into place
