Cycle Descriptions

Automatic cycle(s)

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (e). Your Automatic cycle(s) shuts off when the selected dryness is reached. The Cycle Control Knob will not move until the load is almost dry. After the cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling stops.

lIf the load is drier than you like, select Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

lIf the load is not as dry as you like, com- plete drying using the Timed Drying cycle. Select Very Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

Your dryer has both a High Heat cycle (Regular) and a Low Heat cycle (Permanent Press). Refer to the chart on page 17 to guide you when making drying selections.

NOTE: The Automatic cycles use an auto- matic dryness control that senses the exhaust temperature and determines the dryness of the load.

Timed Drying cycle

Use the Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if some items are damp after Auto- matic drying. Timed Drying is also useful for:

lDelicate items and small loads that need a shot-t drying time.

lBulky items and large loads that require a long drying time.

lDamp drying items; turn the Cycle Control Knob to 30 minutes or less.

Your dryer offers High Heat in the Timed Drying cycle. Refer to the chart on page 17 for Timed Drying suggestions.

TUMBLE PRESS* feature

The Tumble Press feature removes wrinkles from clothes that have been packed in a suitcase, or from items not removed from the dryer at the end of a cycle. Put only a few items in your dryer for best results when using this cycle. As soon as the dryer stops, fold or put the items on hangers.

Fluff Air cycle

The Fluff Air cycle has no heat. Use this unheated cycle to fluff or air dry bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam pillows, sneakers, etc.
