SELECTING THE RIGHT CYCLE AND SETTING
The following pages describe the drying cycles on your dryer. The descriptions include suggested
temperature settings and drying times for various loads.
• Cycle and Temperature tips
• Make sure you have selected the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
• Use the Air cycle, or line dry rubber, plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics.
• The last few minutes of all cycles are without heat to make the load cooler to handle.
• Drying Tips
• Always follow care label directions when they are available.
• Always use fabric softener sheets labeled as dryer safe and follow package instructions
carefully.
• Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is
especially important for permanent press, knit, and synthetic fabrics.
AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS/REGULAR CYCLE
• Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*). Your Automatic cycle
shuts off when the selected dryness is reached. The Cycle and Temperature knob will not
move until the load is almost dry. After the cool-down, the knob automatically turns to all Off
area and tumbling stops.
• If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to LESS the next time you dry a similar
load.
• If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting
closer to MORE the next time you dry a similar load.
TIMED DRYING CYCLE
• Use a Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if some items are damp after Automatic drying.
Timed drying is also useful for:
• Delicate items and small loads that need a short drying time.
• Bulky items and large loads that require a long drying time.
• For a damp dry, turn the Cycle and Temperature Control knob to 30 min. or less.
AIR CYCLE
The Air cycle has no heat. Use this unheated cycle to fluff or air dry bedding, plastic tablecloths,
foam pillows, sneakers, etc. See the following chart for more information about Air cycle.
