Press Guard—
On some models
Use this option to minimize the wrinkles
in clothes. It provides approximately 15
minutes of no-heat tumbling after the
clothes are dry.
This option can only be used with the
Automatic cycles.
If the Cycle Signal knob is selected, the
Signal will sound at the end of the drying
time and will sound several times during the
PRESS GUARD
cycle. This will remind you
that it is time to remove the clothes.

Cycle Signal—
On some models
This signal will sound just before the end
of the cycle to remind you to remove the
clothes. On some models the signal sound
level cannot be adjusted.
If you selected the
PRESS GUARD
option
the signal will sound at the end of the
drying time and will sound several times
during the
PRESS GUARD
cycle. This will
remind you that it is time to remove the
clothes.
NOTE:
Remove garments promptly at the sound
of the signal. Place clothes on hangers
so wrinkles won’t set in.
Use the Cycle Signal especially when
drying fabrics like polyester knits and
permanent press. These fabrics should
be removed so wrinkles won’t set in.

Drum Lamp—
On some models
Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to
unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect
the dryer at the household distribution
panel by removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker. Reach above dryer
opening from inside the drum. Remove the
bulb and replace with the same size bulb.
Drying Rack—
On some models
A handy drying rack may be used for drying
articles such as stuffed toys, pillows or
washable sweaters.
Hook the rack over the lint filter so the rack
extends into the dryer drum.
NOTE:
The drying rack must be used with the
TIMED CYCLE.
Do not use this drying rack when there
are other clothes in the dryer.
