Dryer Cycle Guide
WARNING
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it
(including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
fire.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in
your appliance's Owner's Manual, before operating this appliance.
Sensor Cycles
Senses moisture in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The dry temperature shown is the default
temperature. This setting can be modified on some cycles but is not retained for future drying with this cycle. The dryness setting can be
changed on some cycles and will be retained for future drying with this cycle.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Sensing cycles. These cycles measure the drying air
temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. For electric models, dryer
performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240V.
NOTE:
All temperatures listed in the first row are available for all cycles unless otherwise stated. Temperatures shown in
bold
are the
default settings for that cycle.

Heavyweight items
such as towels or heavy
work clothes
Heavy Duty
Medium
