Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for
your load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows
the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically
sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is
running, the display shows the exact number of minutes
remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle
and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on
the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
■ 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 Automatic or Manual Cycle Settings chart (in the
"Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■
Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a
different dryness level, depending on your load, by
pressing Dryness Level and choosing More, Normal,
Less, or Damp.
NOTE: Time adjust and changing Temperature setting is
not available with Automatic Cycles. You cannot use the
Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with
the Automatic Cycles.
■
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the
temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing Temp until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Manual
Cycles. Changing the Dryness Level setting is not
available with Manual Cycles.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you
are drying. See the Automatic, Steam, or Manual Cycle
Settings Charts.
