4. If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the
recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See
“Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet) for temperature
suggestions. On some models, temperature is included in the
cycle selections.
5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a Wrinkle Prevent feature
selector. When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature periodically
tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load without heat to help
avoid wrinkling.
6. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal. The
signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed from
the dryer as soon as it stops.
The End of Cycle signal is part of the Start button and is
selectable. Turn the Start button to ON or OFF. The signal will
sound only if the selector is set to On.
7. Select the desired Option. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions”
(separate sheet).
8. If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
9. Press the Start button.
Stopping and Restarting
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when the
dryer is not in use.
To restart your dryer
Close the door. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired). Press
the Start button.
Drying Rack Option
Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to
purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows
drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please refer to the
front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you
purchased your dryer.
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not use
the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
To use the drying rack
1. Place drying rack in dryer.
Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items. Do
not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close the door.
3. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle.
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a
clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following table.
4. Start the dryer. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■ If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the
exhaust hood and remove the lint.
Every Load Cleaning
Style 1:
1. The lint screen is located on top of the dryer. Pull the lint screen
toward you. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not
rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
