Wrinkle Guard II
When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Guard II feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load without heat up to 30 minutes to avoid wrinkles. Press the Wrinkle Guard ON button to enable the Wrinkle Guard II feature. A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Guard II feature is on if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door, or when you turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

Additional Features
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the features described.
Heavy Dry
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items such as thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.
Drying Rack (Optional)
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys). If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer. To use the drying rack 1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
Cotton
Select this setting to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets, mattress pads and quilts or a load of towels. Set the temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.
Synthetics/Permanent Press
Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron items such as shirts, blouses, or dresses. Choose a Medium Heat setting if available.
Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending on the type of fabrics being dried.
Delicates
Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the temperature selector, if available, to Low or Extra Low Heat.
2. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door. NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. 3. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. 4. Push the START button. NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
TUMBLE PRESS setting
