DRYER USE Starting Your Dryer WARNING Explosion Hazard 5. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have a WRINKLE PREVENT setting. 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. 6. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an End of Cycle Signal as part of the Push To Start button. This signal is helpful when drying items that should be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions. ■ Is the clothing knotted or balled up? When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. ■ Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located? If so, ventilate the area.
