Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a
damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.
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 recommend-
ed cycle for the type
of load being dried,
as described in
“Cycle descriptions”
later in this section.
Use the Energy
Preferred Automatic
Setting (
*
) to dry
most loads.
NOTE: On some
models, the Temper-
ature selector is part
of the Cycle Control
knob.
3. If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to
the recommended setting for the type of fabric
being dried. The cycle descriptions on the
following pages include temperature setting
suggestions.
4. (OPTIONAL STEP) If your dryer has a Cycle
Signal (End of Cycle Signal) selector, set the
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.
On some models, the End of Cycle Signal is
part of the Start button.
5. Push the Start button.
NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a
cycle ends.
