Damp Dry

Select this setting to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as jeans (to prevent stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make pressing easier). Choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load.

Iron Dry (Timed Drying cycle) setting

Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items such as clothing packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long. Set the temperature selector to Medium or Low Heat depending on the fabrics in your load.

AirDrycycle

Use the Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to Air Dry. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using the Air Dry cycle.

If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.
