• Installation (length of exhaust duct,
etc.).
• Electric voltage or gas pressure.
If you have an automatic cycle, you need
not worry about time. The automatic cycle
will determine the time needed.
Here are some important items to remem-
ber:
• In some models, the automatic cycle
does not operate as a timed cycle.
While using this feature, the cycle dial
advances as the clothes dry. The dial
may advance slowly or quickly
Drying times
It is impossible to give exact drying times.
Conditions from home to home vary and
directly affect drying times. The length of
time it takes to dry loads will depend on
several variables.
• Load size.
• Type of fabric, washer and spin speed
will determine moisture in the fabric.
• Heat and moisture in the room. Damp
air coming into the dryer will increase
drying time.
depending on the moisture content of
the clothes.
• Do not set the timer for a “higher” set-
ting than necessary. If you have a per-
manent press/knit cycle, use it for
loads of permanent press, knits, and
for clothes made from, or containing
synthetic fibers. This cycle has a
longer COOL DOWN period at the end
of the cycle to reduce wrinkling.

ARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning
• Ordinarily, dryer cylinder will need no
care.
• Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If deter-
gent, bleach or other washing products
have been spilled on the dryer, wipe
immediately. Some products will cause
permanent damage if spilled on the
cabinet.
• Do not allow sharp or rough objects to
lean against the dryer. The finish could
be damaged.
• Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for
cleaning the control panel. Some spray
prewash products may harm the finish
on the control panel.
How to Remove Ball Point Pen
Ink Marks from the Dryer Drum
• If the ink stain is fresh, place dry rags
in the dryer. Using the hottest heat set-
ting, run the dryer for one hour to
absorb the ink.
• If the stain is not fresh, apply house-
hold spray or cream cleaner to a soft
cloth, and rub the stain. Then, place
wet rags in the dryer. Using the hottest
heat setting, run the dryer for one hour
to remove any cleaner residue.
Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a perma-
nent supply of lubricant or are equipped
with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication
will not be necessary.
Exhaust system
• The exhaust duct should be inspected
after one year of use and cleaned if
necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust
duct every one to two years as
required thereafter.
• The weather hood should be checked
frequently to make sure the dampers
move freely, dampers are not pushed
in and that nothing has been set
against them.
• Keep dryer area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
(gas dryers) and ventilation air.
