1. Sort clothes for drying  
Properly dried clothes will need a minimum of care when removed from  
the dryer. Clothes properly sorted for washing should be properly sorted  
for drying also. Follow the examples below.  
These controls are intended to show the  
variety of features that are available in  
the product line. If your dryer does not  
have all the options that are shown, it is  
not a mistake. The information  
provided applies to several of the  
models in the product line.

fabrics. If mixed loads are dried together (such  
as sheets and towels), remove the lighter  
weight fabrics when they are dry to prevent  
over drying and wrinkling.  
2. Clean the lint filter before each use  
A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying and clothes will remain lint-  
free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the screen will reduce air  
flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint screen may be  
washed if needed.  
Lint  
Filter  
• Lint filter is located at front of the dryer in the lower part of door opening.  
• Replace lint filter in door recess and push in firmly. Words on filter  
should face front of dryer.  
IMPORTANT: Lint filter must be in  
place in door opening when using dryer  
or loading and unloading dryer. If filter  
is not in place, clothing could fall into  
front air duct.  
Add clothes loosely into dryer drum. Add fabric softener sheet, if  
desired. Close loading door. Dryer will not operate with the door open.  
3. Select FABRIC SELECTOR setting  
Set FABRIC SELECTOR knob to most appropriate temperature for type  
of fabric in load. Follow garment manufacturer’s care label for  
recommended temperature settings. See chart below.

Choose whether or not you want signal notification at the end of your  
dryer cycle. Turn SIGNAL switch to ON if you want signal notification, or  
turn switch to OFF for no signal.  
5. Turn timer to desired setting  
The cycles control the drying time. The ENERGY SAVER setting,  
marked with a dash (–), shows which dryer settings will use the least  
energy and will leave items damp for easier ironing.  
The AUTOMATIC cycles will automatically determine the time needed to  
dry your clothes and will work on any FABRIC SELECTOR setting.  
Set the timer for the type of fabric in the load.  
TIME DRY cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes. Cottons and  
heavyweight items dry best between 50 and 75 minutes, lightweight  
items dry best between 20 and 40 minutes.  
WRINKLE RELEASE cycle helps remove wrinkles from slightly wrinkled  
items that may have been sitting in a dryer or laundry basket overnight.  
The cycle has a short heat setting followed by a 5 minute COOL DOWN.

Features, Hints, and Care  
Drying Times  
It is impossible to give exact drying  
times. Conditions from home to home  
vary and directly affect drying times.  
The length of time it takes to dry loads  
will depend on several variables.  
Optional Drying Rack  
Drying Rack, Part No. 504105, is useful for  
drying items that require no-tumble drying,  
such as tennis shoes, sweaters, stuffed  
toys or other delicate items.  
Load size  
Type of fabric, washer, and spin  
speed will determine moisture in  
the fabric.  
General Dryer Care  
Cleaning  
Heat and moisture in the room.  
Damp air coming into the dryer  
will increase drying time.  
Installation (length of exhaust  
duct, etc.).  
Drying Rack  
Ordinarily, dryer cylinder will need no  
care.  
Wipe dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing  
products have been spilled on the dryer, wipe immediately. Some  
products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.  
Do not allow sharp or rough objects to lean against the dryer. The finish  
could be damaged.  
Electric voltage or gas pressure.  
If you have an automatic cycle, you  
need not worry about time. The  
automatic cycle will determine the time  
needed.  
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some  
spray prewash products may harm the finish on the control panel.  
Here are some important items to  
remember:  
Lint Filter  
In some models, the automatic cycle  
does not operate as a timed cycle.  
While using this feature, the cycle  
dial advances as the clothes dry. the  
dial may advance slowly or quickly  
depending on the moisture content  
of the clothes.  
Clean lint filter after drying each load. A clean lint filter ensures efficient drying  
and clothes will remain lint-free when unloading dryer. A layer of lint on the  
screen will reduce air flow through the dryer and lengthen drying time. Lint  
screen may be washed with soap and water if needed.  
Lubrication  
Do not set the timer for a “higher”  
setting than necessary. If you have a  
permanent press/knit cycle, use it  
for loads of permanent press, knits,  
and for clothes made from, or  
containing synthetic fibers. This  
cycle has a longer COOL DOWN  
period at the end of the cycle to  
reduce wrinkling.  
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of lubricant or are equipped  
with oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will not be necessary.  
Exhaust System  
The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned  
if necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to two years as  
required thereafter.  
The weather hood should be checked frequently to make sure the  
dampers move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing has  
been set against them.  
How to Remove Ball Point  
Pen Ink Marks from the  
Dryer Drum  
If the ink stain is fresh, place dry rags in  
the dryer. Using the hottest heat setting,  
run the dryer for one hour to absorb the  
ink.  
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and  
other flammable vapors and liquids.  
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion (gas dryers) and ventilation air.  
If the stain is not fresh, apply household  
spray or cream cleaner to a soft cloth,  
and rub the stain. Then, place wet rags  
in the dryer. Using the hottest heat  
setting, run the dryer for one hour to  
remove any cleaner residue.

Drying Guide  
Item  
Special Instructions  
Bedspreads  
Choose heat for the type fabric used. Dry one double or two single spreads at once. Chenille and  
tufted spreads will shed lint and should be dried alone. New spreads will contain loose lint. Tumble  
new spreads on NO HEAT setting before washing to remove loose lint. These spreads may be dried  
completely.  
Blankets  
Electric  
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. If the manufacturer recommends drying the blanket in the dryer, follow  
the “Wool” instructions below. Do not stretch the blanket because of the wiring. Some electric blankets  
may have insulation on the thermostats or on the wiring which will not withstand dryer heat. Do not dry  
in dryer unless the blanket manufacturer says it can be done.  
Synthetic Fibers  
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Some of these blankets are fluffy and will shed lint. Tumble on NO  
HEAT setting before washing to remove loose lint. Use a gentle wash method, then dry in dryer until  
just dry. The lint filter may need to be cleaned during the drying.  
Thermal  
Cotton  
AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle.  
Wool  
Agitation and tumbling contribute to the shrinkage and felting of wool. We cannot guarantee that wool  
will not shrink. However, if care is taken and the blanket manufacturer’s instructions are followed,  
satisfactory results should be obtained. Wash by the soak method with as little agitation as possible.  
After washing, stretch blanket gently in both directions. Use approximately five dry bath towels and  
place them between folds in blanket. This will "cushion” it to lessen the tumbling. Set dryer for 20  
minutes on the TIME DRY cycle. Use REGULAR heat setting, if it is available on your dryer. Check  
blanket when timer reaches 10. Wool blankets must be removed from the dryer when damp. Stretch  
gently to shape and finish drying over two clotheslines or in a flat position.  
Quilts  
Choose heat and cycle for fabric. Filling and cover must be completely washable. Old quilts may be too  
fragile to machine wash or dry. Quilts filled with cotton may become lumpy. Quilting should be close  
together. Remove from dryer slightly damp and stretch gently to shape. Quilted articles may shrink if  
over dried.  
Mattress Pads  
Material in mattress pads is made of either cotton or synthetic fibers. Read fiber content label, found on  
your mattress pad, to determine what type of fiber was used to manufacture the pad. READ AND  
CAREFULLY FOLLOW the fabric care instructions supplied by the mattress pad manufacturer. Some  
pads made of synthetic fibers are very heat sensitive. These pads can be flammable if over-heated or  
over-dried. TO AVOID A FIRE HAZARD, DO NOT OVER-DRY mattress pads. Remove pads from the  
dryer while they are still damp.  
Slip Covers  
Pillows  
Choose heat for fabric. Close zippers. Dry one couch cover, two chair covers or five or six pillow covers  
at one time. Remove from dryer when slightly damp. Press pleats if necessary and replace on furniture  
immediately. Stretch fabrics and knits should be dried completely so they will fit snugly when replaced  
on furniture.  
Feather and  
Down-Filled  
Ticking must be strong and seams secure. If in doubt, sew pillow into a case or use a zippered  
pillowcase to prevent feathers from coming out. After washing, shake pillow to fluff feathers. Dry one  
large or two smaller pillows. Use TIME DRY cycle. Use LOW or MEDIUM heat setting if it is available  
on you dryer. Shake and reposition pillows several times during drying. Pillows must be dry in the  
center to prevent mildew. Drying may take two hours or longer. Reset dryer timer if necessary. The  
odor of wet feathers is not pleasant. However, the odor will disappear once the pillows dry.  
Fiber-Filled  
(polyester)  
Follow manufacturer’s directions.  
Foam Rubber  
Cotton  
Do not dry in the dryer.  
Curtains  
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycles. Remove damp items for ironing or dry completely, then  
steam iron.  
Fiberglass  
DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER unless recommended by the manufacturer. Fiberglass may shred.  
Particles may remain in the dryer and rub off on the next load. This could irritate the skin. “Beta”  
fiberglass may be dried in the dryer if recommended by the manufacturer.  
Synthetic  
Fibers  
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Allow room for tumbling to prevent wrinkling. Delicate or sheer  
curtains must be dried by themselves so they will not be snagged by hooks or crushed by other clothes  
in the load. Some sheer curtains are heat sensitive. Dry 10 minutes only, plus the cool down period.  
Remove from dryer immediately and hang. If the dryer has been heated from a previous load, NO  
HEAT setting may be sufficient.  
Draperies  
Remove hooks and weights before washing. Choose heat for fabric and allow space in the dryer for  
tumbling. Some draperies may be removed when slightly damp and hung immediately. Lined draperies  
should be dry-cleaned because they have a tendency to pucker.

Special Instructions  
Knit articles  
All Knits  
Cottons  
Knit fabrics are usually manufactured under tension (stretching). Cotton knits especially may relax or draw  
together if every bit of moisture is removed form them. It is best to take them out of the dryer with a trace  
of moisture remaining, then stretch to shape. If they do shrink from overdrying, rewet them and dry  
properly.  
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycle. Remove slightly damp to minimize ironing. Reshape,  
smooth seams and pockets, etc.  
Synthetic Fibers AUTOMATIC REGULAR or PERMANENT PRESS cycle. Turn inside out to prevent “pilling” (rolling up of  
(nylon, orlon,  
polyester etc.)  
the fiber ends from friction). Dry sweaters only with similar things because they tend to attract lint. Make  
sure the load is large enough for tumbling. Dry completely and remove from dryer immediately to  
minimize wrinkling.  
Wool  
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. For wool labeled “machine washable” follow manufacturer’s directions. For  
other wool, use wool blanket method. Do not dry loosely knit wool or hand knits. Dry these flat and stretch  
to shape from a pattern drawn before washing.  
Lingerie  
Cotton  
Elastic  
AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle.  
Body oils can cause elastic to deteriorate. Wash garments containing elastic frequently. Elastic in such  
things as shorts may be dried, however avoid overdrying.  
Foam Rubber  
Bras, bathing suits, sun suits, etc, DO NOT DRY THESE ITEMS IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT, FIRE MAY  
RESULT. NO HEAT setting may be used.  
Stretch Fabrics Choose heat for the most delicate fiber. These may be dried completely as they will stretch into shape.  
Avoid drying with lint-shedding fabrics.  
Synthetic Fibers TIME DRY cycle. Use a DELICATE or LOW HEAT setting, if it is available on dryer. Some sheer fabrics,  
especially sheer knits, can be heat sensitive. Dry these until they are just dry (about 10 minutes) and  
remove from dryer immediately. Sheer fabrics should not be washed and dried with garments containing  
hooks or zippers. Synthetic fabrics will create static electricity if overdried. TO prevent this use fabric  
softener and avoid overdrying.  
Denim,  
Corduroy  
AUTOMATIC REGULAR cycle. Dry completely and remove from dryer when seams are slightly wet to  
minimize shrinkage.  
Rugs  
Cotton with  
Cotton  
AUTOMATIC REGULAR or TIME DRY cycles. Dry one large or several small rugs. For one small rug  
only, add towels for buffers.  
Backing  
Rubber-  
backed  
Hot water and heat tend to deteriorate many types of rubber. Some types of rubber-like materials are  
flammable under certain conditions. DO NOT DRY FOAM RUBBER AND RUBBER-LIKE MATERIALS  
WITH HEAT.  
Synthetic  
Fibers  
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycles. Follow manufacturer’s suggestions. Some of these rugs are heat  
sensitive and should be removed from the dryer when damp or dried with no heat.  
Stuffed Animals  
and Toys  
Make sure the filling and covering is washable and can be dried in the dryer. Cotton filling may become  
lumpy. Protect glass eyes by covering with a stocking or tie toy into a pillowcase. Choose heat for most  
sensitive fiber. Dry enough clothes in the load for good tumbling. DO NOT DRY TOYS STUFFED WITH  
FOAM RUBBER OR KAPOK IN THE DRYER WITH HEAT.  
Tennis Shoes  
DELICATE or NO HEAT cycle. Use a drying rack or tumble with at least four old bath towels.
