in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
Operating Your Dryer
(Mesh bag not included.)
1 Prepare load for drying.
• Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction
in the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Sepa-
rate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed
in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash
again before drying. Dryer heat may permanently
set some stains.
• Place delicate or small
items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure buckles,
buttons and trim are
heatproof and won’t
damage the drum
fi nish. Close zippers,
button buttons,
fasten hooks and Velcro
®
-like fasteners. Tie strings
and sashes to prevent snagging and tangling.
2 Check that the lint fi lter is clean and in place.
3 Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will
fi ll the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on
top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying
and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three
items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three
similar items to improve tumbling action.
4 Select the appropriate cycle and settings for
each load.
• See
Dryer Operating Instructions on following
pages.
5 Start the dryer.
• Close the dryer door. The dryer will not operate with
the door open.
• Turn the cycle selector knob or turn any option
knob to “wake” the dryer. You will hear three beeps
to indicate dryer is ready to operate.
• After making your selections, press START to
begin the cycle. You will hear one beep.
• To add or remove items when the dryer is running,
press the pause button to pause the cycle and open
the door. Opening the door with a cycle running
will also pause the cycle. You will hear two beeps.
Allow the drum to come to a complete stop before
reaching inside. Add or remove the item, close the
door and push the START button again, continuing
the current cycle.
• To cancel a running cycle, press the CANCEL
button.
• A signal will sound at the end of the cycle if the
chime option has been selected.
6 When the cycle ends, remove items immedi-
ately and hang or fold.
NOTE
If drying a single large or bulky item, such as a
comforter, remove the item part way through the cycle
and turn it “inside out” to maximize drying effectiveness.
Place item back in dryer and re-start cycle.
CAUTION
Do not operate dryer without lint fi lter in place.
