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.
Drying tips
Follow care label directions when they are available.
If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. 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
Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels, work clothes and sheets.
Use a Low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, underwear, blouses, dresses, permanent press
fabrics 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.
