OPERATION
Dry
Press the Dry button to select drying options.
• For consistently dry loads, all articles in the load
should be similar in material and thickness.
• Do not overload the drum. Items must have room
to tumble freely.
• Press Start/Pause to remove items before the dry
cycle has finished.
Press the Dry button repeatedly to toggle through
the selections:
By pressing the Dry button, you can select:
LOW TEMP - For delicate fabrics
DAMP - For damp drying fabrics
NORMAL - For general drying
MORE - For heavier fabrics
30/60/90/120 - For timed drying
NOTE
The capacity of the machine for washing
ü
clothes is twice as much as when drying
clothes. If the machine is to be used to dry a
load, then the wash load must be reduced by
half for effective drying performance. If a full
load is washed, remove half the clothes prior
to starting the dry cycle.
Drying Guide–Automatic Dry
Electronic sensors measure the temperature of the
exhaust to increase or decrease the drying temperature
for faster reaction time and tighter temperature control.
Recommended DRY settings by fabric type:
a) Perm Press – LOW TEMP
b) If clothes are to be ironed – DAMP
c) Cotton/Towels – NORMAL
d) Diapers – MORE
NOTE
On Automatic Dry settings, the estimated
ü
drying time may vary from the actual drying
time. The type of fabric, size of the load, and
the selected dryness level affect drying time.
Drying Guide–Timed Dry
• Press the Dry button repeatedly to select the
drying time in 30 minute increments:
30–60–90–120 minutes.
• Timed dry can last up to 120 min. When selecting
Dry only, drying will start after the final Spin cycle.
• The time required to dry a load can vary greatly
depending on dampness, room temperature, and
type of fabric. You may need to add additional
time. Your own experience will be your best guide.
Drying Tips
Woolen Articles
Do not tumble dry woolen articles. Block them
(pull them to their original shape) and dry them
flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink when dried.
• Always stretch them out immediately after
drying.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
• Do not overload the dryer.
• To reduce wrinkles, take out permanent press
articles as soon as the dryer stops.
Fiber or Leather Materials
Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
Baby Clothes and Night Gowns
Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
Rubber and Plastics
Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics, such as:
a) Aprons, bibs, chair covers
b) Curtains and tablecloths
c) Bathmats
Fiberglass
Do not dry fiberglass articles in the dryer. Glass particles
left in the washer could be picked up by clothes in the
next load and irritate skin.
