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.
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 : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
Sensor Cycles
Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings. The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered. If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default. Not all features and cycles are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.
NOTE: Temperatures shown in bold are the default settings for that cycle. Note that you cannot adjust the time with these cycles.
