How to 

 your dryer

WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,
read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

 

 Your Dryer Properly.

● 

Clean the lint filter each time the

dryer is used. Always be sure the

lint 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. )

Set the Controls.

See the Controls Setting Guide on
pages 6 and 7.

 Set Drying Selections switch.

 Turn Cycle Selector to desired

cycle setting. The selector may be
turned in either direction.

 Push START switch to start

dryer. (Opening the door during
operation stops the dryer. To

restart, close the door and push the
START switch.)
