ENGLISH
End of Cycle Signal
A signal will sound at the end of the cycle and periodically during Press Saver at the
volume level selected. (some models)
Drum Light
(some models)
A drum light will come on whenever the door is opened to illuminate the dryer
drum during loading and unloading. Closing the door turns off the light.
Reversible Dryer Door
Your dryer is equipped with a reversible door. The door can be hinged on the
right or left side. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for directions
on changing the door.
Drying Rack (some models)
Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be tumble dried.
1. Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.
2. Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front bar under the lip of
the lint screen opening.
3. Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight should not exceed 10
lbs. Leave space between items, but do not let items hang over the sides
or through the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the drying
rack.
4.
Select Timed Dry. Use only the Air Fluff/No Heat option for items containing
plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or down.
5. When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the lint screen. If lint
screen is not in place, tumbling items could enter the exhaust system and
cause damage to the dryer.
Features
PROBLEM
• Add a few bath towels to small loads for
proper tumbling.
• Some "silk-like" fabrics should be air
dried.
• Use proper drying temperature.
• Place fabric softener sheet on top of load
before starting the dryer.
• Do not overload dryer.
• Use fabric softener in washer or dryer to
reduce static electricity.
• Remove items when they are slightly
damp to avoid overdrying.
• Check that lint screen is clean and in
place.
• Use fabric softener to lubricate fibers.
• When ironing, use spray starch or fabric
finish on collars and cuffs.
• Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion.
• Follow fabric care label directions.
• If shrinking is a concern, check load often.
• Remove items while slightly damp and
hang or lay flat to complete drying.
• Block knits into shape.
• Do not overload dryer.
• Remove items as soon as cycle ends.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric
damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association.
Common Drying Problems
Greasy, oily
stains
Lint
Pilling
(Fibers break
off, ball up and
cling to fabric.)
Shrinking
Wrinkling
POSSIBLE CAUSES
• Fabric softener sheet.
• Overloading.
• Overdrying causes static
electricity.
• Lint screen not clean
when cycle began.
• Lint is attached to "pills."
• Pilling is normal with
synthetic and permanent
press fabrics. This is due
to abrasion from normal
wear.
• Overdrying.
• Overloading.
• Leaving items in dryer
after cycle ends.
SOLUTIONS
• Rub fabric softener stains with bar
soap. Rinse and rewash.
• Reduce load size and rewash using
liquid fabric softener in the final rinse.
• Or, add a fabric softener sheet and
tumble without heat.
• Use lint brush or roller to remove lint.
• Use a lint brush or shaver to remove
pills.
• Irreversible condition.
• Reduce load size and tumble at
medium or low heat for 5-10 minutes.
• Remove items immediately. Hang or
fold.
Place the front bar under
the lip of the lint screen opening.
