Operating Your Dryer

W A R N I N G
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death to
persons, read the Safety Information
section before operating the dryer.
Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying items
that can be dried with heat. These cycles
automatically dry loads to the dryness level
selected.
MAX DRY will dry very small loads and some heavy
items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry
lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts.
Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking, excessive
lint conditions, and will use more energy than
necessary.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry
large loads and lightweight items, such as sheets
and shirts, but might leave other items, such as
denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure loads
are dried without overdrying, set your loads on
LESS DRY. If items are damp at the end of a cycle,
the timer knob needs to be set closer to the MAX
DRY setting the next time these loads are dried. If
items are overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer
knob should be set closer to COOL DOWN when
these loads are dried again. Remember the
settings that work best to get ideal drying results.
The COOL DOWN period at the end of each cycle
provides items a chance to tumble with no heat and
cool down to room temperature. This prevents
wrinkles from setting if items cannot be cared for
immediately.

NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly in
the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME
DRY cycle. The time it takes for the timer to
advance depends on the type and size of the load
being dried.
The ENERGY SAVER settings, marked with an
asterisk (∗), show which settings will use the least
energy and will leave items damp for easier ironing.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and
also for delicate items. The type of heat is
determined by choosing the proper Fabric Selector
option. There are two settings in the AUTOMATIC
REGULAR/DELICATE cycle — MAX DRY and LESS
DRY.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes.
Cottons and heavyweight items dry best between
50 and 75 minutes, and lightweight items dry best
between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Wrinkle Out Cycle
Use this for items that are slightly wrinkled after
sitting in a dryer or laundry basket overnight. The
cycle has a short heat setting followed by a five
minute COOL DOWN.
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The
type of heat is determined by selecting the proper
Fabric Selector option. There are two settings in
the AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS cycle
— MAX DRY and LESS DRY.
