Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying items that
can be dried wih heat. These cycles automatically dry
loads to the dryness level selected.
MAX DRY and MORE DRY will dry very small loads and some
heavy items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry lightweight
items, such as sheets and shirts. Overdrying can cause wrin-
kling, shrinking, excessive lint conditions, and will use more
energy than necessary.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry large loads and
lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts, but might leave
other items, such as denim and heavy bath towels, more
damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure loads are dried
without overdrying, set your loads on LESS DRY. If items are
damp at the end of a cycle, the timer knob needs to be set
closer to the MORE DRY setting the next time these loads are
dried. If items are overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer knob
should be set closer to COOL DOWN when these loads are
dried again. Remember the settings that work best to get ideal
drying results.
The COOL DOWN period at the end of each cycle provides
items a chance to tumble with no heat and cool down to room
temperature. This prevents wrinkles from setting if items can-
not be cared for immediately.
NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly in
the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME DRY cy-
cle. The time it takes for the timer to advance depends
on the type and size of the load being dried.
The ENERGY SAVER settings, marked with a dot, show which
settings will use the least energy and will leave items damp for
easier ironing.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and also for deli-
cate items. The type of heat is determined by choosing the
proper Fabric Selector option. There are three settings in the
AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycle - MAX DRY, MORE DRY,
and LESS DRY.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes. Cottons and
heavyweight items dry best between 50 and 75 minutes, and
lightweight items dry best between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Perm Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The type of
heat is determined by selecting the proper Fabric Selector op-
tion. There are two settings in the AUTOMATIC PERM PRESS/
KNITS cycle: MORE DRY and LESS DRY.

TIONS before using dryer.
