Timed Dry Cycle
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the
automatic cycle.
Timed Dry is also useful for:
■
Heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work
clothes and large loads that require a long drying time. Set
the Temperature selector, if available, to High heat or to a
setting that matches the care label directions.
■
Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and knits that
require a short drying time. Set the Temperature selector if
available, to Low heat.
NOTE: On some models, temperature is included in the cycle
selections. Drying time and temperature will depend on your
dryer model.
Heavy Dry
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items, such as
thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if
available, to High heat.
Damp Dry
Select this setting to dry items to a damp level or dry items that
do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as
jeans (to prevent stiffness) or cotton clothes (to make pressing
easier). Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High heat.
Wrinkle Free
Use this setting to remove wrinkles from items, such as clothes
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer
too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, at Low heat or
Medium heat, depending on the fabrics in your load.
No Heat Fluff Cycle
Use this cycle for items that require drying without heat, such as
rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. See the chart for
examples of items that can be dried using an air cycle.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using an air cycle
■
Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.
■
Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during cycle.
■
Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
Drying Rack
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, sweaters, pillows, stuffed toys).
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may purchase
one. For ordering information, please refer to the “Assistance or
Service” section in this manual or by contact the dealer from
whom you purchased your dryer.
To use the drying rack
1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front pegs to rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between
the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
3. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle.
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a
clothesline or by using an air cycle.
4. Push the START button.
NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use
the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
This chart shows examples of items that can be rack dried and
the suggested cycle, temperature setting and drying time. Actual
drying time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
