CYCLE GUIDE — AUTOMATIC CYCLES

Not all cycles and settings are available on all models. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

AUTOMATIC DRY - Senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Gives the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting. The dryer will default to Normal Dryness Level to save energy.

Depending on model, temperature may be selected on cycle knob or be a separate control.

Setting the Drying Temperature

Select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.

Temperature Tips

If your dryer has multiple heat settings:

A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying

medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

An Extra-Low heat setting may be used for drying lightweight items such as lingerie.

Use a no heat (air dry) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions.
