Maytag MD-31 operating instructions Step Select Cycle, Permanent Press Auto Dry

Step 3

Select Cycle

To select a cycle, push in and rotate the control dial to the desired setting. When using an Auto Dry cycle, the control dial should be set on “Normal Dry” for most loads.

Loads of larger or bulkier size may require the “More Dry” setting to completely dry the load. The “Less Dry” setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the cycle.

Permanent Press Auto Dry

The Permanent Press Auto Dry cycle is designed to dry wrinkle free cottons, synthetic fabrics, double knits and permanent press fabrics automatically. It minimizes wrinkling by providing an unheated cool-down period at the end of the cycle.

Control features vary by model.

Regular Auto Dry

The Regular Auto Dry cycle is designed to dry loads such as towels, underwear, t-shirts, jeans, etc.

Time Dry/Air Fluff

This cycle can be used to regu- late the drying time. Use with Air Fluff, Delicate, Medium or Regular temperature settings. For timed drying, turn the con- trol dial until the pointer points to the proper time setting in the Time Dry/Air Fluff cycle.

NOTE: Using the Air Fluff temperature setting will require a longer drying time.

Special Options

Damp Dry is located on the Time Dry/Air Fluff section of the dial. It is designed to partially dry items and can be used with any temperature selection. Damp Dry will provide 20 minutes of tumbling time, followed by 5 minutes of cool-down tumbling.

Wrinkle Release will release wrinkles from items that are clean and dry but only slightly wrinkled, such as from a crowded closet or suitcase, or from sitting in the dryer too long after the cycle has ended. Wrinkle Release pro- vides 10 minutes of tumbling followed by five minutes of cool-down tumbling and can be used with any tem- perature selection.
