OPERATING YOUR DRYER
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before operating this appliance.
Features and appearances may vary.
Drying Selections. Select the proper heat on the Fabric
Care selector for your load.
NOTE: Drying times will vary according to the type of
heat used (Electric, Natural gas or LP gas), size of load,
types of fabrics, wetness of clothes, and condition of
exhaust ducts.
Cycle Selector. Turn the Cycle Selector to the desired
cycle setting. The selector may be turned in either
direction. Select “Optimum” for preferred energy setting.
Extra Care Cycle. (Available on some models.)
The Extra Care cycle operates only with the Automatic
cycles. Turn the Extra Care knob to SET, and turn the
Cycle Selector Dial to the desired amount of heated
drying time.
To minimize the wrinkle setting in clothes, the Extra
Care cycle provides from 15 to 20 minutes of no-heat
tumbling after the clothes are dry.
Use the End Cycle Signal to remind you to remove the
dried laundry.
End Cycle Signal. (Available on some models.)
Set End Cycle Signal, if desired. This signal operates
with any cycle on some models. The control can be set
ON and OFF or anywhere between OFF and LOUD,
depending on the model and desired sound level. The
signal will start to sound just before the end of the
cycle to remind you to remove the clothes. To stop the
signal while sounding, turn the signal control to OFF.
