Drying,Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Dry_g Ups
Follow care label directions when they are available.
If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled
"dryer safe." Follow package instructions.
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature
tips
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting (*), if available on your dryer.
Use a High Heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels and work clothes.
Use a Medium Heat setting for drying medium weight items,
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and
some knits.
Use a Low Heat setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive
fabrics.
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure
of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting
rather than a higher setting.

Automatic Cycle
Use the automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the
AUTO SENSE DRY automatic control that senses the moisture in
the load and shuts off the dryer when the selected dryness is
reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move until the load is
almost dry, After the cool down, the knob automatically
turns to
an Off area and tumbling stops.
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting (*).
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using the
Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar toad, select a
setting closer to Very Dry.
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. See
"Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips."

Dry Cycle
Use the Timed Dry cycle to complete drying if items are still
damp after the automatic cycle.
Timed Dry is also useful for:
Heavyweight end bulky items, such as bedspreads and work
clothes and large loads that require a long drying time. Set
the Temperature selector 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 at
Low heat.
NOTE: Drying time and temperature
will depend on your dryer
model.
Max 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.
