wWARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any
type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic
must be dried on a clothesline or by using
an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or fire.
4. (OPTIONAL STEP) Your dryer has a
FINISH GUARD* selector that you can set On
or Off. The FINISH GUARD feature protects your
clothes from wrinkling when you do not remove
them from the dryer as soon as it stops.
The FINISH GUARD feature tumbles the load
without heat every few minutes up to 45 minutes.
A signal sounds every few minutes when
FINISH GUARD is running. The signal and cycle
stop when you open the dryer door.
5. (OPTIONAL STEP) The Cycle Signal (end of cycle
signal) selector is part of the Start button. 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.
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the cycle that
corresponds with the
one you chose on the
Fabric/Temp. selector.
USING YOUR DRYER
STARTING YOUR DRYER
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 Fabric/Temp. selector to the recom-
mended setting for the
fabric being dried. (See
the “Cycle description”
section.)
