Drying Cycles
Automatic cycles
The automatic cycles let you select the
degree of dryness you want. A thermostat
senses the air temperature and automatic-
ally shuts the dryer off when the selected
dryness is reached.
1.
Use Auto-Sense Heavy
to dry heavy
and mediumweight cotton or linen items.
The load tumbles without heat the last
5 minutes for easier load handling.
2. Use Auto-Sense Permanent Press
to
dry permanent press, knits and other
synthetic items. The load tumbles without
heat during the last 10 minutes to help
prevent wrinkles and to make the load
easier to handle.
3. Adjust the dryness levels
by setting the
cycle control knob to NORMAL DRY in
the automatic cycle. When dryer stops,
feel the items for dryness.
If items are drier than you like, set the
control to the
right
of NORMAL DRY
setting the next time you dry that kind of
load. If the items are not as dry as you like,
set the control to the left of NORMAL DRY
the next time you dry that kind of load.
The cycle control knob will not move until
the clothes load is almost dry, or the cool-
down time of the cycle has been reached.
After the cool-down cycle is finished, the
cycle control knob automatically moves to
OFF and the dryer stops tumbling.
Timed Dry
Use this cycle for drying a load for a set
time between 10 and 60 minutes. To
operate, turn cycle control knob to the
number of minutes you want. Push the start
button. (The last 5 minutes of the cycle are
without heat to help make the load easier to
handle and to reduce wrinkling.)
NOTE:
Overdrying can cause shrinkage,
static cling and damage to some fabrics.
Damp Dry
Use this setting to dry damp items that do
not require an entire drying cycle, or to dry
items to damp level. (Two examples are
heavy cottons, such as jeans, which you do
not want to become stiff, or cotton clothes,
which are easier to press when damp.)
Wrinkle Free
Use this cycle to remove wrinkles from
clothing that has been packed in a suitcase,
closet or not removed promptly from dryer.
To operate, turn cycle control knob to
WRINKLE FREE; set the temperature
selector knob to KNITS/LOW and push the
start button. The load will tumble in heated
air for 15 minutes and without heat for
5 minutes more. For best results, put only a
few items in the dryer and remove as soon
as the dryer stops. Fold or hang on hangers
immediately.
NOTE:
Overdrying can cause shrinkage,
static cling and damage to some fabrics.
End-of-cycle signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know
when the cycle is finished. The signal
cannot be turned off and is not adjustable.
The signal is helpful when you are drying
permanent press, synthetic and other items
that should be taken out as soon as the
dryer stops.
Temperature Settings
No Heat/Fluff
Use for rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive
fabrics. (See chart on page 3 for time
settings.)
To operate, turn temperature selector to
NO HEAT/FLUFF. Turn cycle control knob
to TIMED DRYING and set the number of
minutes you want. Push the start button.
Knits/Low
Use for medium/lightweight knits and
delicate fabrics.
Cotton/Perm Press High
Use for cotton, linen, permanent press and
heavyweight knit fabrics.
