ELECTING A CYCLE AND TEMPERATURE SETTING
The following pages describe the drying cycles
on your dryer. The descriptions include suggested
temperature settings and drying times for various
loads.
Cycle and temperature tips
•
Make sure you have selected the correct cycle
and temperature for your load.
•
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting ( * ).
•
Use an air cycle (or temperature setting), or line
dry rubber, plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive
fabrics.
•
If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions
on the following pages have more than one
suggested temperature setting, choose the
lowest setting available on your dryer.
•
The last few minutes of all cycles are without
heat to make the load cooler to handle.

Drying tips
•
Always follow care label directions when they are
available.
•
If you use fabric softener sheets, always use soft-
ener sheets that are labeled as dryer safe and fol-
low package instructions carefully.
•
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.
