To get the best dryer results possible, you must use your dryer correctly. This section tells you how to use your dryer properly and efficiently.
3. If your dryer has a separate Temperature
selector, set it to the recommended setting for the type of fabric being dried. The cycle descriptions on pages 10 and 11 include temperature setting suggestions.
Explosion Hazard Never place items in the dryer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to remove dust from storing and shipping.
4. (OPTIONAL STEP) If your dryer has an End of Cycle Signal selector, set the selector to On if you want the dryer to sound a signal when a cycle is finished. � The End of Cycle Signal is part of the Start Button. � The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press, synthetics, and other items that should be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.
1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the
door. Do not pack the dryer; allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
5. Push the Start Button.
2. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to the recommended cycle for the type of load being dried, as described on pages 10 and 11. � Use the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*) to dry most loads. � On some models, the Temperature selector is part of the Cycle Control Knob.
NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a cycle ends.
