• Occasionally a load may seem too damp or overdried
at the end of the cycle. To increase drying time for
similar loads in the future, set the cycle selector to
the left of the TOWELS, REGULAR, or DELICATES/
PERM PRESS. For loads requiring less drying time,
set the cycle selector to the right.
• DAMP DRY - This setting is best for items you
wish to partially dry before hanging or ironing.
Select the temperature setting most suitable for
the load.
• WRINKLE-RID - If the dried load cannot be
removed promptly at the end of the cycle, the
cycle selector will automatically advance to the
WRINKLE RID setting if the WRINKLE RID option
is turned ON. Unheated tumbling continues for up
to 24 minutes to help reduce wrinkling. The timer
will not automatically advance into the WRINKLE
RID setting if the WRINKLE RID option is turned
OFF.
Select the Note: WRINKLE RID can be used independently
for up to 15 minutes of unheated tumbling to help
remove wrinkles from items that are already dry.
Turn selector knob to WRINKLE RID and start
dryer. It is not necessary to set Temperatures or
WRINKLE RID option controls.

Energy Saving Tips

• Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer
correctly.
• Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature
and cycle settings. Choose the Automatic cycle
whenever possible for accurate drying time.
• Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads
usually take longer to dry.
• Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a partially
dry load, and overdrying.
• Dry one load after another to take advantage of a
warm dryer.
• Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to
escape, which prolongs drying time.
• If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.
• Install the dryer in an area where the room temperature
is at least 45°F (7°C).
