Control Settings Chart

Always consult fabric care labels before drying. For items without labels, follow suggested settings below. The suggested drying times are approximate. Actual time needed will vary depending on size and dampness of load, weight and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time. Items dried in a

dryer operating on a 208 volt circuit instead of a 240 volt circuit require 20% more drying time than listed. To avoid fire hazard, do not use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use Air Fluff-No Heat setting only.
