DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint
Screen.”
2. Place laundry into dryer and shut door.
3. Press POWER.
4. Turn the knob to the selected cycle. The preset settings for
Automatic Cycles or Timed Cycles will illuminate. The
estimated (automatic cycle) or actual (timed) cycle time (in
minutes) will show in the display.
NOTE: A default time is displayed when an automatic cycle is
selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process,
the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time
based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end
of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust
again, showing the final drying time.
To use an Automatic Cycle
■ Press POWER.
■ Turn the knob to desired Automatic Cycle.
■ Select DRYNESS to adjust how dry you want the load. As
the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load
and adjusts the time automatically for the selected
dryness level.
The default dryness setting is Normal when an Automatic
Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level,
depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and
choosing More, Less or Damp. Selecting More, Less or
Damp automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.
Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without
stopping the cycle.
■ Select the desired Options.
To make changes during an Automatic Cycle:
■ Press PAUSE/CANCEL.
