OPERATING YOUR DRYER

Cycle descriptions

Automatic Cycle(s)

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*). Your

 

Automatic cycle(s) shuts

 

 

off when the selected

Off

dryness is reached. The

Less

Cycle Control Knob will

Dry

not move until the load

 

Very

is almost dry. After the

Dry

cool-down, the Knob auto-

 

 

matically turns to an Off

 

area and tumbling stops.

 

If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

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

Some models offer high heat and low heat Automatic cycles (see page 10).

NOTES:

Some Automatic cycles use an electronic DRY-MISER* control that senses the amount of moisture in the load.

Other Automatic cycles use an automatic DRY-MISER control that senses the exhaust temperature and determines the dryness of the load.

Timed Cycle(s)

Use a Timed cycle to complete drying if

Fluff Air Cycle (on some models)

The Fluff Air cycle has no heat. Use this un-

 

heated cycle to fluff or air

Delicate items and

 

small loads that need

Bulky items and large

 

 

loads that require a long
