Drying, Cycleand Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Dryer tips
■Press firmly in the center of the pad.
■The indicator light next to the pad will light up when a selection is valid.
■A short tone will sound when a selection is valid.
■Three short tones will sound when a selection is not valid.
■After your first use, your dryer “remembers” the Dryness level, WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting and End of Cycle Signal setting you selected.
■If you press and hold the pad with either the Temperature selector, the End of Cycle Signal selector or the More Dry or Less Dry arrows, you will advance the settings.
■If you press and hold the Less Time or More Time arrows in the Timed Cycles, the time will advance in five minute intervals.
Drying tips
■Follow care label directions when they are available.
■If you use fabric softener sheets, use only ones labeled as “dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.
■Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
■Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle.
Cycle tips
■Use the Timed Dry cycle with the Air Only (no heat) Temperature setting for rubber, plastic or heat sensitive fabrics.
Temperature tips
If your dryer has multiple heat settings:
■Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.
■Use a medium heat setting for drying
■Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
■Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic or heat sensitive fabrics.
■Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions.
CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Automatic Cycle(s)
Use your Automatic Cycles to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the SENSEON™ Drying System. Electronic sensors measure the temperature of the exhaust to increase or decrease drying temperatures for faster reaction time and tighter temperature control. Your two most frequently used cycles, Heavy Duty and Normal, are enhanced with the SENSEON system to provide the shortest drying time.
After drying a load in any of the Automatic Cycles, check the dryness.
■If the load is drier than you like, press the down arrow to select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
■If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a Timed cycle. Press the Up arrow to select a setting closer to More Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
NOTE: The Up and Down arrows are located next to the Automatic Cycles pads.
To use the Automatic Cycles
1.Press the desired AUTOMATIC CYCLES pad.
2.Press the Up or Down arrows to select from five levels of More Dry or Less Dry, if desired.
3.Select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, if desired.
4.Press the Bell symbol to select the End of Cycle Signal Volume.
5.Press START.
NOTE: The Estimated drying time varies from the actual drying time with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature tips.”
