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

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