Cycles - Kenmore 7806 - Elite Oasis ST 7.6 cu. Ft. Capacity Gas Dryer Use And Care Manual

• Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
• Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
• Refer to the Auto or Timed Preset Cycle Settings charts (in
the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when
you choose an Auto Dry Cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing
Dryness Level and choosing More, Normal or Less.

choose a Temperature with the Auto Dry Cycles.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle,
press the Time Adjust (More Time or Less Time) arrows.
Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing
Temperature until the desired temperature is selected.

Cycles.
Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator

Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Auto Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each
cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A
sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts
the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads,
cottons and jeans.
Cotton/Towels
Use this cycle to get high heat for drying heavy fabrics such as
towels, sheets or cottons.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying casual business
clothes, permanent press blends or work clothes.
Bulky/Bedding
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that
require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters and
cotton or polyester fiber filled pillows. Rearrange the load when
the Damp Dry signal sounds. This step will aid in the drying
process.
Ulka Delicate
Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as
washable knit fabrics, blouses or lingerie.
