Polyester Knits and Permanent Press Drying Tips

• DO NOT OVERLOAD—

Garments being dried or
dewrinkled should tumble freely.

• REMOVE CLOTHES

PROMPTLY—

To help prevent

wrinkling, remove clothes from
the dryer promptly at the end of
the drying cycles.

• PLACE ON HANGERS—

Permanent press and polyester
knit garments look best if placed
on hangers after drying.

The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying

Automatic Drying

When using the Automatic cycles, the 

Automatic Dry

Control system

continually senses the temperature of

the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps the air
cool. When laundry is dry enough (and the drum air
warm enough), the heat turns off. When the air cools,
the heat turns back on. This off and on cycling may
happen a number of times (depending on the fabric,
load size and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle
Selector advances (when the heat is off) until it
automatically turns off the dryer.

Auto Regular. 

Use this cycle to dry heavy- and

medium-weight cotton items. The load tumbles
without heat during the last 5 minutes. This helps
make the load easier to handle.

Auto Permanent Press. 

Use this cycle to dry

permanent press, knits and other synthetic items. The
load tumbles without heat during the last 10 minutes.
This helps keep wrinkles from setting in and makes
the load easier to handle.

Timed Drying. 

When using the Timed Cycles, you

select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to
run and it turns off at the end of this time period. The
last 5 minutes of this cycle are without heat. This
helps make the load easier to handle.

Air Fluff cycle. 

The dryer does not heat when the

Cycle Control knob is set in AIR FLUFF. This cycle
can be used to fluff or air-dry bedding, plastic
tablecloths, foam rubber pillows, stuffed toys,
sneakers, etc.

WARNING

Do not dry plastic 

or rubber items with heat. Use Air Fluff setting, 
or line dry. Failure to do so could result in fire 
or damaged items.

Set to NORMAL Position

• Energy-preferred automatic setting.

• For most normal loads.

Set toward More Dry

• For loads that include

heavyweight fabrics.

• If you desire to remove

more moisture.

Set toward Less Dry

• For lightweight fabric loads.

• If you desire to remove 

less moisture.

• For very small loads.
