Operating Continued Instructions Theautomaticcycles The automatic cycles allow you to select the degree of dryness you prefer for the clothes being dried.

The Cycle Control Knob will not move until the clothes load is almost dry, or the Cool-Down portion of the cycle has been reached.
TIMEDDRYING Use the TIMED DRYING cycle for any load you want to dry by time. • Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the number of minutes you want from 10 to 70. The last 5 minutes of this cycle are without heat to help make the load easier to handle. UsingFLUFFAIR The dryer does not heat when the Cycle Control Knob is set in FLUFF AIR. This cycle can be used to fluff or air dry bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam rubber pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc. 1.

Additional DryerFeatures Electronic DRY-MISER * control The electronic DRY-MISER control is an electronic sensor that determines the amount of moisture in the clothes. The dryer automatically shuts off when the proper dryness is reached. GentleHeatSystem The dryer automatically reduces the heat settings in HEAVY HIGH and PERM'T PRESS MED.

Push the lint screen firmly back into place and close the lid.
