Automatic cycle(s)
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer
uses either the electronic ACCUDRY" system or the
Automatic Dry control. The control senses the moisture
level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the
selected dryness.
On some models
• Automatic Dry (High Heat) and (Low Heat)
Select the temperature by moving the Cycle Control
knob to (High Heat) for bigger or heavier loads or (Low
Heat) for smaller or lighter loads.
• Automatic Dry
Select the temperature from the temperature selector
based on the fabrics in your load.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob featuring Automatic Dry is
not shown.
After drying a load in any of the Automatic cycles, check
the dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If a load is not a dry as you like, complete drying using a
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the next
time you dry a similar load.
Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of
fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect
drying time. See "Temperature tips."
Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items
are still damp after the Automatic cycle. Also use Timed
Drying for heavyweight and bulky items such as
bedspreads and work clothes or large loads that require a
long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if available,
to High Heat. On some models, you may use the Timed
Dry cycle for lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set
the temperature selector to Low Heat.
Fluff Air cycle or Air Only setting
Use the Fluff Air cycle or Air Only setting for items that
require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and
heat sensitive fabrics. Set the cycle control knob to Fluff
Air or select Air Only on the temperature selector and set
the cycle control knob to Timed Dry.This chart shows
examples of items that can be dried using the Fluff Air
cycle/Air Only setting.
