USING YOUR DRYER
CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
The following pages describe the cycles on your
dryer. Refer to these pages for help in selecting
drying cycles and temperatures.
The Cycle Control knob does not move until the
load is almost dry. After the cool-down, the knob
automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling
stops.
•Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting (*).
•If the load is drier than you like, select a setting
closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
•If the load is not as dry as you like, complete
drying using the Timed Dry cycle. Select a setting
closer to Very Dry the next time you dry a similar
load.

Auto Sense Drying
(Automatic cycle)
The Auto Sense Drying cycle uses the Energy
Preferred Automatic Setting (*). Use this high heat
cycle for drying heavyweight and mediumweight:
•Cotton items, such as towels, linens, bedspreads,
work clothes, blue jeans, and corduroys.
•Permanent Press, synthetics, and blends, such
as jackets, shirts, slacks, and play clothes.
•Knits, such as cottons, rayons, blends, T-shirts,
slacks, and shirts.
Timed Dry cycles
Use one of the Timed Dry cycles to complete dry-
ing if some items are damp after Auto Sense
Drying. The high heat and low heat Timed Dry
cycles are also useful for:
•Heavyweight and bulky items, such as bed-
spreads and work clothes, and large loads that
require a long drying time. Set your Cycle
Control knob to High heat for 50-70 minutes.
(Reset knob as necessary for the time required.)
•Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and
knits that require a short drying time. Set your
Cycle Control knob to Low heat for 20-30
minutes.
No Heat Fluff
Use the unheated No Heat Fluff cycle for items that
require drying without heat. The chart on page 12
includes examples of items that require drying
without heat.
