Selecting the right cycle and setting
The following pages describe the cycles on
your dryer. Refer to the charts on pages 9-10
for help in selecting drying cycles.
Drying guidelines
l
Always follow care label directions when
they are available.
l
To dry delicate fabrics, rubber, plastic, and
heat-sensitiie fabrics, always use the
No Heat/ Fluff or Air cycle (depending on
model), or dry these items on a line or rack
(see page 10).
l
The last few minutes of all cycles are
without heat to make the load easier to
handle.
l
To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load
from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.
This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
l
Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static
cling, and damage some fabrics.
l
Refer to pages 16-l 9 for information
about:
- sorting clothes for drying
- choosing load sizes
- drying tips
I using dryer fabric softeners
- saving energy

Cycle descriptions
Automatic Cycle(s)
Dry most loads uslng
the Energy Preferred
Automatic Settlng (c).
Your Automatic cycle(s)
shuts off when the
selected dryness is
reached. The Cycle
Control Knob will not
move until the load is almost dry. After the
cool-down, the Cycle Control Knob automati-
cally turns to an OFF area and tumbling
stops.
l
If the load is drier than you like, select a
setting closer to LESS DRY the next time
you dry a similar load.
l
If the load is not as dry as you like, com-
plete drying using
a limed
cycle. Select a
setting closer to VERY DRY the next time
you dry a similar load.
Some dryer models offer high heat and low
heat Automatic cycles. Select the cycle to
match your load (see page 9).
Timed Cycle(s)
Use a Timed cycle to
complete drying if some
items are damp after
Automatic drying. Timed
drying is also useful for:
l
Delicate items and
small loads that need
a short drying time.
. Bulky items and large loads that require a
long drying time.
NOTE: Some models offer high heat and low
heat Timed cycles (see page 9).
