USING
YOUR DRYER
Starting Your Dryer
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to
remove dust from storing and shipping. The following steps
provide an overview for operating your dryer. Specific directions
for each step are contained in the following sections.
1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not
pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
2. Select one of the Automatic or Timed Cycles. Use the Heavy
Duty or Normal cycles to dry most heavyweight and medium
weight loads. (See “Cycle Descriptions.”)
3. For Automatic Cycles, select one of the five levels of dryness
by pressing the up or down arrows. (See “Cycle
Descriptions.”)
4. For Timed Cycles only, select one of six temperature settings.
(See “Cycle Descriptions.”)
5. Select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, if desired. (See
“Additional Features.”)
6. Select the End of Cycle Signal, if desired. The signal is helpful
when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly remove
these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to prevent
wrinkles. (See “Additional Features.”)
7. Push the START pad.

resume the cycle. Dryer will stop if more than five minutes have
elapsed since the dryer was stopped.
