Selecting a Cycle

Dryer cycles are designed for the proper drying of different kinds of fabrics. This dryer has 3 cycles:

REGULAR HEAVY-The heat is off during the last 5 minutes of tum- bling. The load is cooled down for more comfortable handling.

PERMANENT PRESS -The heat is off during the last IU minutes of tumbling to help keep wrinkles from setting in. Clothing wrinkled from packing in suitcases or closets can be smoothed out by tumbling them in this cycle for about 20 minutes.

AIR - No heat. This cycle is useful when drying heat-sensitive items or when fluffing pillows and bedding or dusting sheers and curtains.
