IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PROTECT CHILDREN • Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. • Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers. • Keep laundry products out of children’s reach.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Normal Operating Sounds You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer: A. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operating Your Dryer WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer. 1 Prepare load for drying. • Dry items of similar fabric, weight and construction in the same load. • Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint. • Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Consoles shown above for reference only. Your model may differ. Cycle Selection Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle desired. For best results Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried. Once a cycle is running, turning the selector knob to another selection will not change the cycle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cycle Selection, continued Auto Dry Cycles Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars (if equipped) at the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cycle Settings For best results Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried. Select appropriate drying temperature, dryness level and options most suitable for each load. Make selections based on load size, dampness and fabric type and durability. The settings can be changed before the cycle is started. If changes are attempted after the cycle starts, the lights will flash and a signal will beep, but the cycle will continue.
