Using the Controls

STEP 3

Select Cycle

To select a cycle, rotate the control dial to the desired setting. When using an Auto Dry cycle, the control dial should point between More Dry and Less 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.

Auto Dry Regular

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

Auto Dry Wrinkle Free Fabrics

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

Time Dry Air Fluff

This cycle can be used to regulate the drying time. Use with Air Fluff, Delicate, Medium (select models) or Regular temperature settings. For timed drying, turn the control 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 (select models)

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 five 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 provides 10 minutes of tumbling followed by five minutes of cool-down tumbling and can be used with any temperature selection.

Note

•The dial can be turned in either direction to select a cycle. Once started, the dial will not advance at a specific rate during the Auto Dry cycles. At first the dial may not advance at all. Toward the end of the cycle (when the load begins to dry) the dial will advance at a more regular rate and much more quickly. This is normal operation.
