Cycle Descriptions

Cycle Control knob
Automatic cycle(s)
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the
electronic ACCUDRY™ system. The control senses the moisture
level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected
dryness. Your easy-to-use dryer has a color-coordinated Cycle
Control k nob and Temperature selector.
Temperature Selector
When using the Automatic cycles, simply choose the setting
on the Cycle Control k nob that corresponds with the one you
choose on the Temperature selector.
Your dryer has five automatic cycles (Heavy, Normal, Casual/
Permanent Press, Quick Dry and Delicates and three
corresponding temperature selections.
After drying a load in any of the Automatic cycles, check the
dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If a load is not a dry as you like, complete drying using a
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the next time
you dry a similar load.
Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric,
size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See
"Cycle and temperature tips."
