DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as 
gasoline, away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything 
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on 
it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried 
on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death 
or fire.
Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to 
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint 
Screen.”
2. Place laundry into dryer and shut door. 
3. Press POWER. 
4. Select an Auto or Timed Cycle. The preset settings for Auto 
or Timed Cycles will illuminate. The estimated (auto cycle) or 
actual (timed) cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.
NOTE: A default time is displayed when an auto cycle is 
selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process, 
the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time 
based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end 
of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust 
again, showing the final drying time.
To use an Auto Cycle
Select an Auto Cycle. Auto cycles are preset to Normal.
Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the 
load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of 
the load and adjusts the time automatically for the 
selected dryness level.
To make changes to the Dryness Level and/or Options 
during an Auto Cycle:
Press STOP once.
Adjust Dryness Level and/or Options. 
NOTE: Dryness Level selections can be made only while 
using Auto Cycles. Selecting More, Normal, or Less 
automatically adjusts the sensed time needed. 
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying time 
and enhances fabric care. The amount of time that is 
displayed is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.
