Selecting the right cycle and setting

The following pages describe the cycles on your dryer. Refer to the charts on pages 9-10 for help in selecting drying cycles.

Drying guidelines

•Always follow care label directions when they are available.

•Use the Fluff Air cycle, or line dry rubber, plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics (see page 10).

•The last few minutes of all cycles are without heat to make the load easier to handle.

•To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

•Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling, and damage to some fabrics.

•Refer to pages 17-20 for information about:

-sorting clothes for drying

-choosing load sizes

-drying tips

-using dryer fabric softeners

-saving energy

-drying special-care items.

Cycle descriptions

Automatic Cycle(s)

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (.). Your Automatic

cycle(s) shuts off when the selected dryness is reached. The Cycle Control Knob will not move until the load is almost dry. After the cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to an OFF area and tumbling stops.

•If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to LESS DRY the next time you dry a similar load.

•If the load is not as dry as you like, com- plete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to VERY DRY the next time you dry a similar load.

Some models offer high heat and low heat Automatic cycles (see page 9).

NOTES:

•Some Automatic cycles use an electronic DRY-MISER ® control that senses the amount of moisture in the load.

•Other Automatic cycles use an automatic DRY-MISER control that senses the

exhaust temperature and determines the dryness of the load.

Timed Cycle(s)

Use a Timed cycle to complete drying if

some items are clamp

after Automatic drying.

Timed drying is also useful for:

•Delicate items and small loads that need

a short drying time.

•Bulky items and large loads that require a long drying time.

Some models offer high heat and low heat Timed cycles (see page 9).

Fluff Air Cycle

(on some models)

The Fluff Air cycle has no heat. Use this un- heated cycle to fluff or air dry bedding, plastic table- cloths, foam pillows, sneakers, etc. See page 10 for more information about the Fluff Air cycle.

NOTE: If your model does not have the Fluff

Air cycle, line dry heat-sensitive items.
