Selecting a cycle and setting

Your dryer’s Cycle Control Knob is shown above. Use the drying guidelines and cycle descriptions on this and the following pages for help in selecting the right drying cycles.

Always follow care label directions when they are available.

To dry delicate fabrics, rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics, always use the No Heat/Fluff cycle or dry these items on a line or rack.

The last few minutes of all cycles are with- out heat to make the load easier to handle.

To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling, and damage to some fabrics.
