Automatic cycle(s)
Use an Automatic cvcle to dry most loads.
Depending on your
model, the Automatic
cycle uses either an
electronic or automatic
DRY-MISER@ control
that senses the mois-
ture in the load and
shuts off the dryer
when the selected
dryness is reached.
L
The Cycle Control Knob
does not move until the load is almost dry. After the
cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to an Off
area and tumbling stops.
0 If the load is drier than you like, select a setting
closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
0 If the load is not as 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 with an Automatic cycle varies accord-
ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness
setting. Your model may not have all heat settings
listed. Some general guidelines are:
0 Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight
items, such as towels and work clothes.
0 Use a medium heat setting for drying medium-
weight items, such as sheets, underwear,
permanent press clothes, and some knits.
0 Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight
items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and
some knits.
NOTE: If you have any questions about drying
temperatures for various loads, refer to care label
directions.
Timed cycle(s)
Use a Timed drying cycle to complete drying if some
items are damp after the
Automatic cycle. A Timed
drying cycle is also
useful for:
0 Heavyweight and bulky
items, such as bed
spreads and work
clothes, and large loads
that require a long drying
time. Set your dryer for
High heat.
0 Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and
knits that require a short drying time. Set your dryer
for Low heat.
0 Drying time and temperature will depend on your
dryer model.
Fluff Air cycle
(on some motlels)
Use the unheated Fluff Air cycle for items that require
drying without heat.
Thechartonpage12
includes examples of
items that require air
drying.
NOTE:
If your model
does not have the Fluff
Air cycle, line dry heat-
sensitive items.
Heavy Dry cycle
(on some models)
Use the Heavv Drv cycle to drv large items or items
that are thicker or
heavier than a regular
load (such as heavy
cotton bath towels
or robes.) Set your
Cycle Control Knob to
Heavy Dry and your
Temperature selector to
High heat.
