Cycle Selection

For best results, follow the fabric care label instructions on items
to be dried.
Auto Dry
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying time. The load
will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the
desired dryness level. The dryer senses the moisture level of the
load as it tumbles through heated air. Auto Dry cycles save time
and energy and protect fabrics.
DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will
continue to tumble, unheated, during a Cool Down period. This
helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load,
weight and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect
drying time.

Touch Up
Select Touch Up to help remove wrinkles from clean and dry
items that were not taken from the dryer at the end of the cycle,

period.
