lo TOUCHUP
Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow
space for clothes to tumble freely. The following chart shows
examples of balanced loads that would allow for proper tumbling.
Heavy work 2 work pants, 3 jeans, 1 coverall, 3 shirts
clothes
Delicates 2 camisoles, 4 slips, 6 undergarments,
2 sets of sleepwear
Towels 8 bath towels, 8 hand towels, 10 wash
cloths, 1 bath mat
Mixed Load 2 sheets (double or twin), 4 pillowcases, 2
shirts, 6 T-shirts, 6 shorts, 2 blouses,
6 handkerchiefs
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Drying tips
• Follow care label directions when they are available.
• If you use fabric softener sheets, use only ones labeled as
dryer safe. Follow package instructions.
• 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.
Cycle and temperature tips
• Dry most loads using the Normal Dry setting (*).
• Use a More Dry setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels and work clothes.
• Use a Normal Dry setting for drying medium weight items,
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and
some knits.
• Use a Less Dry setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
• Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic or heat sensitive
fabrics.
• Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select a
lower setting rather than a higher setting.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.

Permanent Press/Normal
Use this cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses an automatic
control that senses the moisture in the load and shuts off the
dryer when the selected dryness is reached. The Cycle Control
knob does not move until the load is almost dry. Approximately
10 minutes before the end of the automatic cycle, clothes are
tumbled without heat to help reduce wrinkles and make clothes
easier to handle. After this cool down period, the knob
automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling stops.
Dry most loads using the Normal Dry (*) setting. When the cycle
ends, check the dryness of the load.
• If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
LESS DRY the next time you dry a similiar load.
• If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using the
Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar load, select a
setting closer to MORE DRY.
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. See
"Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips."
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the
automatic cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for heavyweight and
bulky items, such as bedspreads, work clothes, and large loads
that require a long drying time. Use this cycle to get up to 60
minutes of heated drying time.
Touch Up
Use this cycle to smooth synthetic and permanent press clothes
that are clean but wrinkled from being crowded in a closet or
suitcase. This setting provides approximately 15 minutes of
heated tumbling followed by a ten minute (approx.) cool down
period. Remove clothes immediately when tumbling stops.
