USING 

YOUR DRYER

 

Starting Your Dryer

Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to 
remove dust from storing and shipping. The following steps 
provide an overview for operating your dryer. Specific directions 
for each step are contained in the following sections.

1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not 

pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.

2. Select one of the Automatic or Timed Cycles. Use the Heavy 

Duty or Normal cycles to dry most heavyweight and medium 
weight loads. (See “Cycle Descriptions.”)

3. For Automatic Cycles, select one of the five levels of dryness  

by pressing the up or down arrows. (See “Cycle 
Descriptions.”)

4. For Timed Cycles only, select one of six temperature settings. 

(See “Cycle Descriptions.”) 

5. Select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, if desired. (See 

“Additional Features.”)

6. Select the End of Cycle Signal, if desired. The signal is helpful 

when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly remove 
these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to prevent 
wrinkles. (See “Additional Features.”)

7. Push the START pad.

Stopping, Pausing and Restarting 

You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.

To stop your dryer

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.

To restart your dryer

1. Close the door.

2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if an option with your 

cycle.)

3. Push START.

To pause your dryer

Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once. Press START to 
resume the cycle. Dryer will stop if more than five minutes have 
elapsed since the dryer was stopped.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as 
gasoline, away from dryer.

Do not dry anything that has ever had anything 
flammable on it (even after washing).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in 
death, explosion, or fire.

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of 
oil on it (including cooking oils).

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be 
dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in 
death or fire.
