How to operate your dryer
WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,

AUTOMATIC CONTROL
Your Dryer Properly
●
Clean the lint filter each time the
dryer is used. Always be sure the
filter is in place. Don’t use the
dryer without it.
●
Good sorting for the dryer begins
at the washer. Generally, if clothes
are sorted right for washing, they’re
sorted right for drying. See page 8
for sorting help. (If you do mix
various types of fabrics in your
– load, set the controls for the
lighter-weight fabrics and remove
when dry. Reset controls for the
remaining heavier fabrics. )

What is the difference
between Automatic &
drying?
Automatic Drying
When using the AUTOMATIC
cycles, the
Automatic
system
continually
senses the temperature of the air in
the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps
this air cool. When laundry is dry
enough (and the drum air warm
enough) the heat turns off. When
the air cools, the heat turns back
on. This off and on cycling may
happen a number of times
(depending on the fabric, load size,
and Cycle Selector setting). The
Cycle Selector advances (when the
heat is
until it automatically
turns off dryer.

Timed Drying
