Adjusting drying time on Timed Cycles

When you select a Timed Cycle, the default time appears in the display. Use the More Time/Less Time buttons to increase or decrease the time in 1 minute increments. Press and

hold to change the time in 5 minute increments.

The maximum dry time is 100 minutes.

Selecting the Drying Temperature

A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

Use a no heat (Air Dry) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

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

Using Air Dry

Use the Air Dry temperature setting with Timed Cycles for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Dry.

Plastic – shower curtains, tablecloths	20–30
Rubber-backed rugs	40–50
Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon	10–20

*Reset time to complete drying, if needed. When using Air Dry:

•Check that coverings are securely stitched.

•Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.

•Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
