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.

Cycle and temperature tips

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred setting, if available on your dryer.

Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

Use a Medium heat setting for drying medium weight items, such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

Use a Low heat 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.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting rather than a higher setting.

Cycles

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary from the model shown.

Cycle Control knob

Automatic cycle(s)

Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the electronic ACCUDRY™ system. The control senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.

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 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.

NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”

Timed Drying cycle(s)

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 Drying cycle for lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based on the fabrics in your load.

NOTE: Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the Automatic cycle.

Air Only setting

Use the Air Only setting for items that require drying without heat such as foam, rubber, plastic, and heat sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to Air Only on the Temperature selector and set the Cycle Control knob to Timed Drying. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using the Air Only setting.
