Selecting a cycle

Each dryer cycle is designed chart below to help you decide

to dry certain kinds of fabrics. Use the which cycle to use.

Drying these and other heat-sensitive materials with heat can damage them or be a FIREHAZARD.

The last 5 minutes of the HEAT Cycle are without heat. This helps cool down the load for easier handling and to reduce wrinkling.

Drying	times
Drying times will vary		depending	on:
l amount of moisture in the clothes.
l type and weight of the fa brie.
l size of the load.
l room temperature		around the
dryer.

See page 6 in your”Dryer Guide” for more information.

Mixed loads

When drying a load with different

kinds and weights of fabrics, use the cycle suggested forthe lightest fab- rics. When the dryer stops, remove dry items and reset the control.

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

DO NOT OVERDRY. Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling, and can damage some fabrics.
