Fabric Care Settings
FLUFF – For items requiring drying without heat. Perfect for airing clothes or to freshen up
garments that have been packed in a suitcase or drawer.
COTTON REGULAR – For drying general cottons such as sheets, sweats and knits. This cycle
uses high heat to dry clothes quickly. Suitable for garments labelled “tumble dry”.
PERMANENT PRESS – For drying lightweight fabrics. A medium heat is used to reduce wrinkles.
Ideal for lightweight cottons, casuals and items labelled “tumble dry with a medium heat”. This
cycle automatically selects the DEWRINKLE option to reduce wrinkles.
KNITS DELICATES – For heat sensitive items, this cycle uses a low heat. Use this setting when
care labels recommend low heat settings or for garments with a synthetic fibre content, where
overheating could cause damage to fibres.
Timed Dry Cycles
(Cycles run for a selected time.)
The dryer has three timed cycles. These cycles have set drying times of either 40, 60 or 80
minutes and include a DAMP DRY and DEWRINKLE function. If selected, the dryer will dry for the
specified period of time.
TIMED DRY – Set the cycle selector at the desired drying time.
DAMP DRY – To leave items partially dry, set the cycle selector on DAMP DRY setting.
DEWRINKLE – For removing wrinkles from items that are clean and dry or that are slightly damp.
Set the cycle selector on to DEWRINKLE setting.
Note:
Drying times will vary according to the type of heat used (electrical or natural gas), size of load,
types of fabrics, wetness of clothes and condition of exhaust ducts.
