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 this cycle for most loads, Drying

time varies according to type of fabric,

size of load, and dryness setting.

• 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 a similar load.

If they are overdried, select LESS DRY

the next time you do a similar load,

• 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.

• The End-of-Cycle Signal sounds once

the cycle is completed.

TIMED DRY CYCLE

Use this cycle to get up to 70 minutes

of heated drying time,

• The heating cycle is followed by a 10-

minute (approx.) COOL DOWN period.

• The End-of-Cycle Signal sounds once

the cycle is completed.

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 tumbling followed by a 10-

minute (approx.) COOL DOWN period.

• Remove clothes immediately when

tumbling stops.

FABRIC/TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Proper use of this control helps

ensure that fabrics are dried at the

right temperature for maximum life,

Use this control to select the drying

temperature that matches the fabrics

in your load.

• Select LOW for delicate fabrics. Select

HIGH for durable fabrics such as sturdy

work clothes or bath towels.

• The FABRiC/Temperature Control

will not work when the Cycle Selector

Control (Timer) is in the AIR DRY Cycle.

END-OF-CYCLE SIGNAL CONTROL SOFT-HEAT ®SYSTEM

Your dryer sounds a signal when

a drying 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.

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 Sutton,

Be sure the Cycle Selector Control (Timer)

is still on adrying cycle or air setting.

PUSH TO START

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 or wearing and

washing 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.

COOLDOWN

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.

USING WRINKLE GUARD

WRINKLE GUARD helps keep your

permanent press items wrinkle free

when you cannot 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 continuously for

30 minutes.

• This action will continue unless you

open the dryer door.

During WRINKLE GUARD, the End-of-

Cycle Signal will sound every 5 minutes.

Follow these recommendations to

help save on utility bills and prolong

the life of your garments.

PREPARING CLOTHES

FOR DRYING

• Refer to your Washer Owner's Manual

for proper washing techniques and

additional laundry tips.

• See page 4 of this book for Important

Safety Instructions.

SORTING CLOTHES

•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.

CHOOSINGLOADSIZES

• Mix large items with smaller items.

Load the dryer by the amount of space

items take up, net by their weight. Do

not overload the dryer, Overcrowding

causes uneven drying and wrinkling,

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.

DRYING TIPS

• 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 garments inside out for even

drying.

• Place small items such as baby socks

or hankies in laundry bag for easier

removal.

• Articles to be ironed should be

removed while still slightly damp.

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 wetting

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.

EXTERIOR

Use a soft, damp cloth to 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

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 non-flammable liquid

household cleaner on the stained area.

Continue with STEPS 2-4.

STEP 2. Scrub area until all excess dye

is removed.

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaners.

Failure to do so can result in death,

explosion, or fire.

CLEANING YOUR DRYER

Garments that contain unstable dyes,

such as denim blue jeans or brightly

colored cotton items, may discolor the

drum interior.

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 the back

wall of your dryer. Clean it before every

load. A screen blocked by lint can increase

drying time.

To clean:

STEP 1. Pull out the lint screen and its

cover.

STEP 2. Separate the cover and the

screen by squeezing the screen and

pulling on the cover at the same time.

Screen Cover

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.

Wash Lint Screen As Needed

Laundry detergents and fabric softeners

can cause a residue buildup on the lint

screen. Wash the lint screen with a nylon

brush if it becomes clogged due to a

residue buildup.

To clean:

STEP 1. Wet both sides of lint screen

with hot water.

STEP 2. Wet a nylon brush with hot

water and liquid detergent; scrub lint

screen with the brush to remove

residue buildup.

STEP 3. Roll lint off the screen with your

fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to

remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

STEP 4. Put the lint screen and cover

back together and push firmly back into

place.

STEP 3, Rinse screen with hot water.

STEP 4. Thoroughly dry lint screen

with a clean towel; replace in dryer.

CHECKING FOR AIR FLOW

OBSTRUCTION

From time to time, you may find it helpful

to check your dryer and exhaust system

for proper air flow. Poor air flow can result

in longer drying times.

To check for air flow obstruction:

STEP 1. Check to ensure nothing is

blocking ventilation slots on dryer rear

panel.

STEP 2. Inspect exhaust hood. It should

not be blocked or obstructed.

REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT

Lint can gather inside the exhaust

vent or dryer and be fuel for a fire. Lint

should be removed every 2 to 3 years,

or more often, depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning should be done by a qualified

service person.

To remove accumulated lint from

exhaust vent:

STEP 1. Disconnect exhaust vent from

the dryer.

STEP 2. Clean one section of vent at a

time until your reach the exhaust hood.

To clean out lint, you can use the hose

attachment on your vacuum or, use

a pole or wire with a feather duster or

rag attached.

STEP 3. Reconnect vent as described in

the "INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" of

this Owner's Manual.

To remove accumulated lint from

inside the dryer:

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before cleaning.

Replace all panels before operating.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death or electrical

shock,

STEP 1. Unplug the power supply cord

or turn off the electrical power supply.

STEP 2. Remove back panel by removing

the screws along the frame.

STEP 3. Remove lint from the dryer base

with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Avoid

damaging wires or electric thermostats.

STEP 4. Replace back panel; reconnect

and level dryer again, if necessary.

MOVING CARE

• Unplug power supply cord or turn off

electrical power supply.

• Make sure leveling legs are secure in

dryer base.

• Use masking tape to secure dryer door.

VACATION CARE

• Unplug power supply cord or turn off

electrical power supply.

• Wash lint screen.
