Gently lay dryer on the cardboard corners.

STEP 5. Stand the dryer up and move

it close to its final location. Leave enough

room to connect the exhaust vent.

STEP 6. Check levelness of dryer by

placing a level on top of the dryer, first

side-to-side; then front-to-back.

STEP 3. With one of the legs in hand,

check the ridges for a diamond marking.

STEP 4. Start to screw the legs into

the holes by hand. Use a wrench to finish

turning the legs until diamond marking

is no longer visible. This is when we

recommend you start checking the dryer

for levelness. Further adjustment may

be necessary.

STEP 7. If dryer is not level, prop the

dryer up using two stacked cardboard

corner posts. Use a wrench to adjust

the legs up or down.

CYCLE DESCRIPTION

The AUTO DRY Cycle saves you time

by providing the best drying results

in the shortest time. This can help

you save money on utility bills and

reduce the risk of fabric damage.

AUTO DRY CYCLE

Use AUTO DRY for most loads. Drying

time varies according to type of fabric,

size of load, and dryness setting.

Using Automatic Drying Cycles

• Set the Cycle Selector Control (Timer)

to NORMAL DRY(*) which is good for

most fabrics.

• At the end of the cycle, feel the dried

clothes. If they are damp, select MORE

DRY the next time you do asimilar load.

if they are overdried, select LESS DRY

the next time you do a similar load.

• If your dryer has an end-of-cycle signal,

it will sound (if selected) once the cycle

is completed. Select models feature a

non-adjustable end-of-cycle signal.

On Dryers with AUTO DRY II

• Dryness is determined by an electronic

sensor that "feels" the amount of mois-

ture in clothes as they pass over it. When

the dryness selected is reached, the

dryer goes into a 10-minute (approx.)

COOL DOWN period.

• If you do not unload the dryer, it goes

into WRINKLE GUARD automatically,

if available. For an explanation of

WRINKLE GUARD, see page 28.

On Dryers with AUTO DRY I

• Dryness is determined by thermostats

that react to the amount of moisture

in the air exhausted from the dryer.

Moist air indicates clothes are still

damp. Dry air indicates that moisture

has been removed.

NOTE: Dryers that do not have a

FABRIC/TEMPERATURE Control, give

you a choice of settings for high heat

(PERMANENT PRESS/NORMAL) or

low heat (KNIT/DELICATE).

TIMED DRY CYCLE

Use this cycle to get 60, 70, or 80

minutes (depending on model) of heated

drying time.

•The heating cycle is followed by a 1g-

minute (approx.) COOL DOWN period.

•If your dryer has an end-of-cycle signal,

it will sound (if selected) once the cycle

is completed. Select models feature a

non-adjustable end-of-cycle signal.

TOUCH UP CYCLE

Use this cycle to smooth synthetic and

permanent press clothes that are clean

but wrinkled from being crowded in a

closet or suitcase.

• This setting provides about 15 minutes

of heated drying time followed by a 10-

minute (approx.) COOL DOWN period.

• If your dryer has an end-of-cycle signal,

it will sound (if selected) once the cycle

is completed. Select models feature a

non-adjustable end-of-cycle signal.

• Remove clothes immediately when

tumbling stops.

END-OF-CYCLE SIGNAL CONTROL SOFT-HEAT<_>SYSTEM

Your dryer sounds a signal when

adrying cycle is finished.

The signal is helpful when you are

drying permanent press, synthetics,

and other items. These items should

be removed from the dryer as soon

as it stops in order to prevent wrinkles.

• On some models, the volume of the

signal can be adjusted.

PUSH TO START BUTTON

Use this control to start the dryer.

Be sure the dryer door is closed.

Opening the door stops the dryer. It

will not start again until you close the

door and press the PUSH TO START

Button. Be sure the Cycle Selector

Control (Timer) is still on a dry setting.

SOFT-HEAT <_System guards against

overdrying. This helps your fabrics

retain the natural moisture they need,

prevents static, and reduces pilling -

the formation of small lint-like balls

on the surface of garments. Pilling

is the natural result of washing and

wearing of garments.

Kenmore dryers help prevent overdrying

so you get outstanding fabric care. In

the AUTO DRY and TIMED DRY Cycles,

clothes are dried at the temperature

you selected until the last few minutes

of the cycle. The dryer then switches

to low heat.

COOL DOWN

Approximately ten minutes before the

end of the AUTO DRY and TIMED DRY

Cycles, clothes are tumbled without

heat to help reduce wrinkles and make

clothes more comfortable to handle.

unload the dryer promptly at

the end of the AUTO DRY Cycle.

If you do not open the door at the end

of the AUTO DRY Cycle, WRINKLE

GUARD will tumble the clothes without

heat for 30 minutes.

• This action will be continuous unless

you open the dryer.

During WRINKLE GUARD, the End-of-

DRY RACK

On some models, a dry rack was

shipped on top of your dryer. Remove

and discard shipping blocks before

using. The dry rack may look slightly

different than the one shown below.

When you use the dry rack, the

heated air inside the dryer flows in a

concentrated pattern to allow efficient

and uniform drying. The dry rack also

reduces noise when drying items that

have buckles.

Use the drying rack with the TIMED

DRY orAIR DRY Cycles only. This

al!ows you to machine dry items for

a specific length of time without

tumbling.

To Use the Dry Rack:

STEP 1. Open dryer door.

STEP 2. Put rack into the drum, fitting

rear legs into the grooves in the back

wall of the dryer. Then push in rack and

drop the front legs into position on dryer

opening as shown.

PREPARING CLOTHES SORTING CLOTHES

FOR DRYING

Follow these recommendations to

help save on utility bills and prolong

the life of your garments,

• Refer to your Washer Owner's Manual

for proper washing techniques and

additional laundry tips.

• See page 5 of this manual for

Important Safety Instructions.

DRYING TIPS • Separate dark colors from light colors;

colorfast from non-colorfast. Items

properly sorted by color for washing

are usually properly sorted for drying.

• Separate heavy fabrics (denim,

towels) from light fabrics (synthetics,

permanent press).

• Separate lint givers (towels, chenille)

from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics,

permanent press). When possible,

turn lint takers inside out.

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to

avoid snagging other items. Remove

heat-sensitive trim that can be damaged

by drying. Tie strings and sashes so

they will not tangle.

• Check garments for spots and stains

left after washing. Do not tumble these

items. Heat may permanently set stains.

• Check pockets before drying. Sharp

or metal objects can damage your

dryer. Do not lay these objects on

your dryer, they can damage the

finish. Turn pockets of heavy items

inside out for even drying.

• Place small items such as baby

socks or hankies in laundry bag for

easy removal.

• Articles to be ironed should be

removed while still damp.

and can cause items to wear out faster

(because of pilling).

• You may need to rearrange large items

(sheets, blankets, tablecloths) during

a cycle to reduce bailing or rolling up.

• For better tumbling action, when drying

only a few small items, add one or two

lint-free towels. This also prevents

small lightweight items from blocking

airflow.

USING DRYER

FABRIC SOFTENERS

Dryer fabric softeners are recommended

for reducing static cling. Always follow

package instructions carefully.

• Put one fabric softener sheet on top

of the load before starting the dryer.

Do not add a fabric softener sheet after

the drying cycle has started. Instant

heat can cause the fabric softener to

spot fabrics.

• Remove fabric softener stains by wet-

ting the stains and rubbing them with

liquid detergent or bar soap and rewash.

• Some fabric softeners can clog the

lint screen and slow drying. Use fabric

softeners labeled as dryer safe.

SAVING ENERGY

• Use the AUTO DRY Cycle to dry

most loads.

• Dry full loads only. Do not overdry.

• Avoid overloading dryer, adding wet

items to a partly dried load, or opening

the door unnecessarily.

• Shorten drying times by exhausting

dryer properly and cleaning exhaust

vent and outside exhaust hood as

needed.

• Keep the lint screen clean.

• Use dryer where room air temperature

is above 45°F.

• Sort loads by fabric weight and type.

This section explains how to care for

your dryer properly and safely.

Proper care of your dryer can extend

its life and help you avoid costly

service calls.

CLEANING YOUR DRYER

EXTERIOR

Use a soft,damp clothto clean the cabinet

and console. Avoid using harsh abrasives.

Do not put sharp metal objects on or in

your dryer. They can damage the finish.

INTERIOR

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaners.

Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, fire, or burns.

Garments that contain unstable dyes,

such as denim blue jeans or brightly

colored cotton items, may discolor the

dryer drum.

To clean dryer drum:

STEP 1. Make a paste with detergent

and very warm water and apply to a soft

cloth. Continue with STEPS 2-4.

STEP la. Spray nonflammable liquid

household cleaner on the stained area.

Continue with STEPS 2-4.

STEP 2. Scrub area until all excess dye

is removed.

STEP 3. Wipe thoroughly with a damp

cloth.

STEP 4. Tumble a load of clean towels

for 20 minutes to dry.

CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN

Remove Lint Before Every Load

The lint screen is located on top of

your dryer. Clean it before every load.

A screen blocked by lint can increase

drying time.

To clean:

STEP 1. Pull the lint screen straight up.

STEP 2. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to

remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

STEP 3. Push the lint screen firmly back

into place.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen

loose, damaged, blocked, or missing.

Doing so can cause overheating and

damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

• Some towels made of synthetic fibers

and natural fibers (polyester and cotton

blends) may shed more lint than other

towels, causing your dryer's lint screen

to fill up faster. Be sure to remove lint

from the lint screen before and after

drying new towels.
