Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the
dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display
shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle
and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on
the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■
Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Automatic or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart
(in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■ Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you
choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing
Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp.
NOTE: Time adjust and changing Temperature setting is
not available with Automatic Cycles. You cannot use the
Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with
the Automatic Cycles.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle,
press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the
temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed
Cycles. Changing the Dryness setting is not available with
Timed Cycles.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying. See the Automatic, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings
Charts.

Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings chart.
Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature.
A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically
adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
NOTE: Not all cycles are available on all models.

Steam Cycles (on some models)
Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items,
such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have been left
in the dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the
estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining
in the cycle.
NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton
garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than
those without.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam
cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes.
Quick Refresh
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors
from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic
garments. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into the
dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer
will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down.
The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable.
