Operating Instructions
Cycle Selection
This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Console shown
above for reference only. Your model may di
ff
er.
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle desired.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the
CANCEL
button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the cycle
selector knob to another selection will not change the cycle.
Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars at
the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the
load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry
cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected
temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto Dry cycles
save time and energy and protect fabrics.
The estimated drying time will be displayed for about 5
minutes. Then the outside of the display will light up in
a circular track to indicate the drying time is automati-
cally being determined by the sensors. When the load
has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to
tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrin-
kling and makes items easier to handle during unloading.

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
To avoid
fi
re hazard, do not use heat to dry items
containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics
similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the Timed
Dry cycle and the Air Dry setting.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of
load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry,
the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture
to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few
minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and elec-
trical voltage or gas pressure can also a
ff
ect drying time.
