Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
■Follow care label directions when they are available.
■If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
■Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature tips
■Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred setting, if available on your dryer.
■Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.
■Use a Medium heat setting for drying
■Use a Low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses and some knits.
■Use a
■Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting rather than a higher setting.
Cycle Descriptions
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary from the model shown and may not have all of the cycles and features described.
Cycle Control knob
Automatic dry cycle(s) (on some models)
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
On some models
■Automatic Dry (High Heat) and (Low Heat)
Select the temperature by moving the Cycle Control knob toward Very Dry for bigger or heavier loads or Less Dry for smaller or lighter loads.
■Auto Dry
Select the temperature from the temperature selector based on the fabrics in your load.
After drying a load in any of the Automatic cycles, check the dryness.
■If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
■If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”
Timed Drying cycle(s)
Select the correct Timed Drying setting and temperature for your load.
Use a longer Timed Drying setting for heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes, or large loads that require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.
Use a shorter Timed Drying setting for lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based on the fabrics in your load.
