USING YOUR DRYER

CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS

Automatic cycle(s)

Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.

	Depending on your
	model, the Automatic
Off	cycle uses either the
Less	electronic ACCUDRY*
	system or the
Dry
	automatic DRY-MISER*
Very	control that senses the
Dry	moisture in the load
	and shuts off the dryer
	when the selected
	dryness is reached.

The Cycle Control knob does not move until the load is almost dry. After the cool-down, the knob automatically 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, complete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting clos- er to Very Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

Drying time with an Automatic cycle varies accord- ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness setting. Your model may not have all heat settings listed. Some general guidelines are:

•Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight items, such as towels and work clothes.

•Use a medium heat setting for drying medium- weight items, such as sheets, underwear, permanent press clothes, and some knits.

•Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.

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

Timed cycle(s)

Use a Timed drying cycle to complete drying if

		some items are damp
60		after the Automatic
50	40	cycle. A Timed drying
		cycle is also useful for:
	30	•Heavyweight and bulky

20items, such as bed spreads and work clothes, and large loads that require a long drying

Off	time. Set your dryer for
	High heat.

•Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and knits that require a short drying time. Set your dryer for Low heat.

NOTE: Drying time and temperature will depend on your dryer model.

Fluff Air cycle

(on some models)

Use the unheated Fluff Air cycle for items that

	require drying without
	heat. The chart on page
	13 includes examples of
	items that require air
	drying.
	NOTE: If your model
	does not have the Fluff
Off	Air cycle, use the Timed
	Drying cycle and the “Air
10 20
	Only” Temperature
	setting, or line dry
	heat-sensitive items.

Heavy Dry feature

(on some models)

Use the Heavy Dry feature to dry large items or

			items that are thicker or
Heavy
	70 60		heavier than a regular
Dry
	50		load (such as heavy
	40
			cotton bath towels
	30		or robes.) Set your
	20		Cycle Control knob to
			Heavy Dry and your
		Cool
			Temperature selector to
		Down
			High heat.
