Cycle Settings
For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried.
Select appropriate drying temperature, dryness level and options most suitable for each load. Make selections based on load size, dampness and fabric type and durability.
The settings can be changed before the cycle is started. If changes are attempted after the cycle starts, the lights will flash and a signal will beep, but the cycle will continue.
NOTE
To change the settings once the cycle has begun, push in the cycle selector knob to pause the cycle, make the new selections and push in the selector knob again to restart the dryer.
Drying Temperature
Turn the temp knob until the desired drying temperature is selected. To protect your fabrics, the temperature range from low to high settings may be different depending on cycle selected. If an unavailable temperature setting is selected by the user, the nearest available temperature will be substituted. Refer to complete dryer settings chart.
sanitize (on select models)
Recommended for durable fabrics and towels. Use this selection to remove harmful bacteria from your clothing or other items where sanitization is desired.
