Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
■Follow care label directions when they are available.
■If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled “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.
