CYCLES
Cycle Control knob
Automatic Cycle
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a
control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off
when the load reaches the selected dryness.
■
Select the temperature from the temperature selector based
on the fabrics in your load.
After drying a load, check the dryness.
■
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Delicates the next time you dry a similar load.
■
If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Cupboard Dry Plus the
next time you dry a similar load.
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of
fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying
time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items such as
thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector
to High Heat.
Select this setting to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets,
mattress pads and quilts or a load of towels. Set the temperature
selector to High Heat.
Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron
items such as shirts, blouses or dresses. Choose a Medium Heat
setting.
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending
on the type of fabrics being dried.
Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the
temperature selector to Low Heat.
When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as
it stops, wrinkles can form. The Iron Dry setting periodically
tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load for up to 30 minutes
without heat to avoid wrinkles. A signal will sound periodically if
the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling
will end when you open the dryer door, or when you turn the
Cycle Control knob to Off.
Use Timed Drying for heavyweight and bulky items, such as
bedspreads and work clothes or large loads that require a long
drying time. Set the temperature selector to High Heat.
You may use the Timed Drying cycle for lightweight items such as
lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, based on the
fabrics in your load.
NOTE: Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items
are still damp after the Automatic cycle.
Select this setting to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items
that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such
as jeans (to avoid stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make pressing
easier). Choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in
your load.
Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items such as clothing
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer
too long. Set the temperature selector to Medium or Low Heat
depending on the fabrics in your load.
Use the Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat
such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle
Control knob to Air Dry. This chart shows examples of items that
can be dried using the Air Dry cycle.
