Starting Your Dryer
This booklet covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the cycles and features described.
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 recommended cycle for the
type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting (*) to dry most heavy to medium weight fabrics.
3.
If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to the
recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. See
“Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet) for temperature
suggestions. On some models, temperature is included in the
cycle selections.
4.
(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an EXTRA TUMBLE feature
selector. When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. This feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without
heat to help avoid wrinkling.
■ Set the EXTRA TUMBLE selector to ON to tumble the load
without heat every few minutes up to 45 minutes after the
drying cycle ends. A signal will sound every few minutes
while Extra Tumble is running, if the Cycle Signal is set to
“On.”
■
Set the EXTRA TUMBLE selector to OFF if you do not
want to run this feature.
5.
(OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a CYCLE SIGNAL. The
signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed
from the dryer as soon as it stops.
■
Set the CYCLE SIGNAL to ON if you want to run this
feature.
■
The Cycle Signal is part of the PUSH TO START button.
6.
If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Use only ones labeled as
dryer safe. Follow package instructions.
7.
Press the PUSH TO START button.
Stopping and Restarting
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.

The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when
the dryer is not in use.
To restart your dryer
Close the door. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
Press the PUSH TO START button.
Drying Rack Option
Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
I
f your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to
purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows
drying rack usage and for ordering information, please refer to the
front page of your manual or contact the dealer from whom you
purchased your dryer.
NOTE:
The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
To use the drying rack

Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2.
Put wet items on top of rack, leaving space between items.
Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. Close
the door.
