Ill CYCLE SELECTOR CONTROL
AUTO DRY I Cycle
Use this cycle for most loads, itgives the best drying in the shortest time.
Drying time varies according to type of fabric, size of load and dryness
setting.
Dryness is determined by thermostats that react to the amount of moisture
in the air exhausted from the dryer. When the dryness selected is reached,
the dryer goes into cooldown for 10 minutes (approx.) then a buzzer
sounds. If you do not unload the dryer, it goes into Wrinkle Guard I
automatically.
• Set the Cycle Selector Controlto the (:t:)which is good for most fabrics.
You can set the control for MORE DRY if clothes are still damp at the
end of the cycle or LESS DRY for clothes that are too dry or are to be
ironed.
•Set the Heat Temp Control to the type of fabric in the load.
•Push the StartControl.
AIR DRY Cycle
Use this cycle to get up to 30 minutes of drying time in room temperature
air. Use this setting for items that will not tolerate beat, such as plastics,
foam rubber, etc. and for airing and flutfang items such as pillows.

AIR DRY Cycle.

SOFT-HEAT ®
In the AUTOMATIC and TIMED DRY Cycles, clothes are dried at the
selected temperature until the last few minutes of the cycle when the dryer
switches to low heat. This helps prevent overdrying.
Lint Alert
Clean the lint screen before each load. If you do not, your dryer may not
operate properly.If enough lint accumulates to clog the lint screen, a con-
tinuous whistle tone will sound. Turnoff the dryer, remove the lintscreen,
clean and replace it. When the dryer is restarted the sound will stop.
Cooldown
Approximately ten minutes before the end of the AUTOMATIC and
TIMED DRY Cycles, clothes are tumbled without heat to help reduce
wrinkles and make clothes more comfortable to handle.
Wrinkle Guard I
Wrinkle Guard I helps keep yourpermanent press items wrinkle free when
you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of the Automatic Cycle.
If you do not open the door at the end of the Automatic Cycle, Wrinkle
Guard I will tumble the clothes without heat for 30 minutes unless you
open the dryer door sooner. During Wrinkle Guard I the End-of-Cycle
Signal will sound'after every 5 minutes unless the control is off.

FEATURES
E1 Lint Screen
Keep the lint screen clean. Alint-clogged screen will slow down the flow
of air. This makes drying time longer and wastes energy. Clean the lint
screen before each load as follows:
1. With dryer off, remove the screen by pulling straightup.
2. Roll the dry lint off the screen. Do not wet the screen or lint; wet lint is
hard to remove.
3. Replace the cleaned lint screen.
Fire Hazard.
Do not use your dryer while the lint screen is removed.
It could cause overheating and possible damage to fabrics and dryer
parts or create a fire hazard. Lint screen must be pushed firmly into
place.
