Check that the lint filter is clean and in place.

harshness and a build up of static electricity.

NOTE

If a setting is not available for the cycle selected, the 
indicator will not light.

3 

Load the dryer and close the door.

Load items loosely. The average wet load will 

• 

fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to 
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on 

• 

top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying 

• 

and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
When drying large items, dry only two or three 

• 

items at a time. Fill out the load with small and 
medium sized items.
For delicate or very small loads, add two or three 

• 

similar items to improve tumbling action.

Select the appropriate cycle and settings for 
each load.

selected. See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more 
details.

• 

level, press the Temperature or Dryness buttons to 
scroll to the desired settings.
To select or delete an option, press Options; then, 

• 

while the indicator is blinking, press Select. The 
indicator will light when the option has been se-
lected. It will no longer be lighted when the option 
has been deleted.

Adjustments made to a cycle will be remembered  

• 

and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the 
future.
