Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth to 
remove dust from storing and shipping.

1. Load clothes loosely into the dryer and close the door. Do not 

pack the dryer. Allow space for clothes to tumble freely.

2. Turn the Cycle Control knob to the recommended cycle for 

the type of load being dried. Use the Energy Preferred 
Automatic Setting (

) to dry most heavyweight and medium 

weight loads. See  “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”

3. Push the START button.

You can stop your dryer any time during a cycle.

Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.

NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when 
the dryer is not in use.

1. Close the door.

2. Select a new cycle (if desired).

Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow 
space for clothes to tumble freely. The following chart shows the 
maximum load you can place in your compact dryer. Expect 
longer drying times. 

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.

Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few 
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.

■

Follow care label directions when they are available.

■

If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled  
“dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.

■

Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to 
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent 
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

■

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic 
Setting (

).

■

Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat sensitive 
fabrics.

■

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for 
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
