To get the best dryer results possible, you must use your dryer correctly. This section tells you how to
use your dryer properly and efficiently.
Starting your dryer
Operating Your Dryer
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a
damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.
If your dryer has a Consumer Buy Guide, remove it
and place it with this Use and Care Guide.
1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the
door. Do not pack the
dryer; allow space for
clothes to tumble freely.
2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the recommended
cycle for the type of load
being dried, as de-
scribed on pages 10-12.
• Use the Energy
Preferred Automatic
Setting (
*
) in the Regu-
lar/Heavy cycle to dry
most heavyweight and
mediumweight loads.
3. Set the Temperature selector to the recommended
setting for the type of
fabric being dried.
The cycle descriptions
on pages 10-12 include
temperature setting
suggestions.

4. (OPTIONAL STEP) Set the Cycle Signal selector to
On if you want the dryer
to sound a signal when a
cycle is finished. The
signal is helpful when you
are drying permanent
press, synthetics, and
other items that should
be removed from the
dryer as soon as it stops.
5. (OPTIONAL STEP) Your dryer has an Extra Care
feature to protect your
clothing from wrinkling
once the dryer stops.
• On models KEYS777E
and KGYS777E, set the
Extra Care selector to Off
if you want the dryer to
stop after cool-down.

Explosion Hazard
Never place items in the dryer that are
dampened with gasoline or other
flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any
type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
