garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better
results than those without. 100% cotton items may
require additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.
Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with
Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on
clothes.
It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments
prior to using a Steam Cycle.
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings chart.
Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature.
A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically
adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Sanitize
Use this cycle for items such as towels, bedding, children's
clothing, or other items needing to be sanitized. This cycle is
designed to eliminate 99.9% of 3 common infectious bacteria.
This cycle should be run to completion to ensure sanitization.
For best results, do not interrupt cycle.
The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one
to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester
blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.
The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too
long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.
The Quick Refresh Cycle time is set for 15 minutes and is
not adjustable. Under certain environmental or installation
conditions, you may experience under drying with the
Quick Refresh Cycle. Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle
(20 min. default time) which can be customized to select
High Temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing
the Timed Cycle Adjust More Time button.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying. See Automatic Preset or Manual Preset Cycle Settings

Feature
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD TM
feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help
keep wrinkles from forming.
•
Get up to 140 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the
end of a cycle. Turn off at any time by pressing the WRINKLE
SHIELD TM feature or opening the dryer door.
For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature is
preset to "ON." The other cycles will retain the WRINKLE
SHIELD TM feature setting. (The Wrinkle Shield feature is preset
to "ON" for the Casual Cycle. If selected for other cycles, it will
remain "ON" the next time that cycle is selected.)
Damp Dry Signal
On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected to alert
you that your clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful
when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to
avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need
ironing.
The DAMP DRY SIGNAL is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in
a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the
dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and
restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load
will aid in the drying process.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic
Cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is not a selectable option for the
Sanitize cycle.
Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
drying cycle is finished.
Press until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows green.

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To clean dryer drum
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very
warm water.
2.
Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained
area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye and stains
are removed.
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The
control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint
screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
To clean
1.
Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer
interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not
stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to
avoid transfer of dye.
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IM PORTANT:
•
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.
•
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See "Venting
Requirements."
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen
is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more
frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash
1.
2.
10
Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some
water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your dryer. If
storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
