Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Your dryer 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 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.
■ Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-
sensitive fabrics.
■ Line-dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
Cycles
Auto Dry
Senses exhaust air temperature and shuts off when the load
reaches the selected dryness level. 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 setting. Drying time
with an Auto Dry cycle varies according to the type of fabric, size
of load, and temperature 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
Time Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar load, select a
setting closer to Very Dry.
Air Dry
Use this cycle for items that require drying without heat, such
as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. See the chart for
examples of items that can be dried using an air cycle.
Type of Load Time*
Foam rubber - pillows,
padded bras, stuffed toys
20 - 30
Plastic - shower curtains,
tablecloths
20 - 30
Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50
Olefin, polypropylene, sheer
nylon
10 - 20
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using an air cycle
■ Check that coverings are securely stitched.
■ Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during cycle.
■ Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
Time Dry Cycle
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after
the automatic cycle.
Time Dry is also useful for:
Heavyweight items and work clothes that require a long
drying time.
Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses and knits that
require a short drying time.
For damp dry, turn the Cycle Control knob to 30 minutes
or less.
End of Cycle Signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when the cycle is
finished. The signal is not adjustable and cannot be turned off.
The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press,
synthetics and other items that should be taken out as soon as
the dryer stops.
Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
