Make the new selection and push in the cycle selector knob again to start the new cycle. Auto Dry Cycles Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the front of the dryer drum (on certain models) sense the moisture level of the toad as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the toad will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to a specific dryness level. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the dryness level, it will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading. Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle. Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time. normal Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons, linens and sheets. heavy duty Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry durable fabrics such as work wear and overalls. deiicates Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates. casual Select this cycle to dry cottons, blends and permanent press items with a no-iron finish. cotton towels (on select models) Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-rubber-backed bath mats.

Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur. INSIDE DRYER • Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter. • Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the tint filter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place. • If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mitd liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load. • Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard. Fabric softener may build up in the dispenser well. Residue should be removed once or twice a month, INSIDE WASHER • Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer. • Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the underside of the lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is closed. • Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards. • When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water. • The base plate or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads. FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER • Remove the dual chamber insert (a) from the bleach and fabric softener dispenser by pinching at the chamber divider and lifting upward. Also remove the siphon cap (b). • Rinse the insert and cap with a combination of 3/4cup liquid chlorine bleach and i gallon hot tap water to remove any buildup. Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.
