Cycle descriptions
Automatic Cycle(s)
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (*). 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 Knob automati- cally turns to an OFF area and tumbling stops.
lIf the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to LESS DRY the next time you dry a similar load.
lIf the load is not as dry as you like, com- plete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to VERY DRY the next time you dry a similar load.
Some models offer high heat and low heat Automatic cycles (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.
lBulky items and large loads that require a long drying time.
Some models offer high heat and low heat Timed cycles (see page 9).
No Heat Fluff Cycle
Use the No Heat Fluff cycle to fluff or air dry bedding, plastic table cloths, foam pillows, sneakers, etc. See the Warning and the chart on page 10 for more information about this unheated cycle.
