TARTING YOUR DRYER

If your dryer has a Temperature selector, set it to
the recommended setting for the type of fabric
being dried. The cycle descriptions on the 
following pages include temperature setting 
suggestions.

(OPTIONAL STEP) Some dryers have an On/Off
FINISH GUARD

®

selector or an Off/30 min. or 

90 min. FINISH GUARD

®

Plus selector. These 

features protect your clothes from wrinkling when
you do not remove them from the dryer as soon
as it stops.

•

Set the FINISH GUARD selector to On to 
tumble the load without heat every few minutes 
up to 45 minutes after the drying cycle ends.

•

The FINISH GUARD Plus selector lets you
choose up to 30 or 90 minutes of periodic
unheated tumble time after the drying cycle
ends. 

•

A signal will sound every few minutes while 
FINISH GUARD (FINISH GUARD Plus) is 
running if the Cycle Signal (End of Cycle 
Signal) feature is set to On. The signal and cycle
end when you open the dryer door.

•

Set the FINISH GUARD (FINISH GUARD Plus) 
selector to Off if you do not want to run  this 
feature.

NOTE: Some dryers have a FINISH GUARD feature
that cannot be turned On or Off. See page 12.
