The control panel is simple to understand and easy to operate.
The illustrations below define the knobs and buttons, and the
paragraphs define the purpose of each.
Buzzer On/Off
Indicator Light
This light indicates when the power is on or that a cycle has
started.
Temperature
The Temperature Control button lets you choose between a
normal and low drying temperature.
NOTE: Always refer to the care label on the garment to determine
whether it can be tumble dried.
Normal
The Normal temperature setting is for sturdy fabrics, such as
cotton, linen, and denim. If the Temperature Control button is not
pressed in, the temperature setting is Normal.
Low
The Low setting is for synthetics, such as cotton/polyester blend,
rayon, acetate, washable silk, or nylon. If the Temperature Control
button is pressed in, the temperature setting is Low.
Cycle Knob
Turn this knob to the recommended setting. Indicator light will
flash to indicate a cycle has been selected. See “Drying, Cycle,
and Temperature Tips.”
Off Position
Turn the cycle knob to the Off position at any time.
Start Button
After you have selected a cycle and temperature, press this
button to start the cycle. Indicator light will glow to indicate the
cycle has started.
Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle and to
reduce wrinkling. After the cool-down cycle ends, the light
flashes, and an end-of-cycle signal sounds to indicate the cycle
is complete.
Drying tips
Follow care label directions when they are available.
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased
shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle and temperature tips
Dry most loads using an automatic cycle.
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures
for various loads, refer to the care label directions.
Cycles
Automatic Cycles
When you are using the Auto Moisture Sensing Cycle, two metal
strips (sensors) located on the dryer baffles determine the
dryness of the load. The metal strips help detect the amount of
moisture left in the clothes as they tumble. When there is moisture
left in the clothes, the machine will continue to run. As clothes
begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes decreases,
and the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle. When
the selected dryness level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool
down period of up to 15 minutes.
Automatic cycles may be used for most loads. Automatic cycles
give the best drying results in the shortest time. Drying time
varies according to the type of fabric, size of the load, and
dryness setting.
After drying a load, check the dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Extra Dry the next time
you dry a similar load.
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete.
If your End of Cycle signal is selectable, the signal will sound
only if set to On.
