Drying,Cycle,andTemperatureTips

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.

Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle and to reduce wrinkling. After the cool-down cycle ends, the light flashes and an end-of-cycle signal sounds to indicate the cycle is complete.

Drying tips

Follow care label directions when they are available.

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.

Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle and temperature tips

Dry most loads using an automatic cycle.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

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

Cycles

Cycle Control knob

Automatic Cycles

Automatic cycles may be used for most loads. Automatic cycles give the best drying results in the shortest time. Drying time varies according to the type of fabric, size of the load, and dryness setting.

After drying a load, 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 More Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
