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

the type of load being dried. See  “Drying, Cycle and 
Temperature Tips.”

4. Select a temperature setting on models with a Temperature 

selector. The cycle descriptions include temperature setting 
suggestions.

NOTE: The temperature selector is part of the Cycle Control 
knob on some models.

5. Select the End of Cycle Signal, if available. The signal is 

helpful when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly 
remove these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to 
help avoid wrinkles.

6. Press PUSH TO START. Your gas dryer has an electronic 

ignition system for the burner which is fully automatic; no 
action is needed by the user (there is no pilot light).

NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a cycle ends.

You can stop your dryer anytime 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 and temperature (if desired).

3. Press the Start button.

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.

Cool Down 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 desired, add a fabric softener sheet. 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.

■

Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as 
towels, work clothes and sheets.

■

Use a Low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as 
lingerie, underwear, blouses, dresses, permanent press 
fabrics and some knits.

■

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. If you are unsure 
of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting 
rather than a higher setting.

The control panel of your dryer contains symbols. Refer to the 
chart below for a definition of those symbols.

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary 
from the model shown and may not have all of the cycles and 
features described.

Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a 
control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off 
when the load reaches the selected dryness.
