Maytag MEDB850WB - 29" Electric Dryer Use And Care Manual page 6

Se[ect the correct cyc[e and dryness )eve) or temperature for your
load. If a Sensor Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated
cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness
[eve[ of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display shows the
exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Coo[ Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Coo[ Down makes the loads easier to handle
and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the
load size and dryness [eve[.
Drying tips
• Follow care [abe[ 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 Sensob Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart
(in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
• Drying temperature and dryness [eve[ are preset when you
choose a Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different
dryness [eve[, depending on your load, by pressing
DRYNESS LEVEl_ and choosing More, Normal, Less, or
Damp. The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting;
however, you may select an alternate drying temperature by
pressing TEMP LEVEl.. Once selected, the new heat setting
will be retained until reset to the initial preset temperature.
The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not allow an alternate
temp to be selected.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press
TIME ADJUST + (plus) or - (minus). Adjust the temperature
of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP I.EVEI. until the desired
temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness [eve[ with Timed
Cycles.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying.
See Sensob Steam, or Timed Cycle Settings charts.

Sensor Cycles
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Sensor 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. An alternate temperature is se[ectab[e
for a[lcyc[es with the exception of the Delicate and Bulky by
pressing the TEMP LEVEl. button.
NOTE: Not all cycles are available on all models.
