OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Drying Guidelines
• Always follow care label directions when
they are available.
• To dry delicate fabrics, rubber, plastic, and
heat-sensitive fabrics, always use the Fluff
Air cycle or dry these items on a line or
rack.
• The last few minutes of all cycles are
without heat to make the load easier to
handle.
• To help reduce wrinkling, renrysve the load
from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.
This is especially important for permanent
press, knhs, and synthetic fabrics.
• Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static
cling, and damage to some fabrics.
• Refer to pages 16-19 for information
about:
- sorting clothes for drying
- choosing load sizes
- using dryer fabric softeners
- drying special-care items.
Cycle Descriptions
Automatic Cycle(s)
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting (*). Your Automatic

move until the load is almost dry. After the
cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to
an OFF area and tumbling stops.

LESS DRY the next time you dry a similar
load.

plete drying using the Timed Drying cycle.

similar load.
Your dryer has both a High Heat cycle
(Automatic Perm Press/Heavy) and a Low
Heat cycle (Automatic Delicate). Refer to the
chart on page 14 to guide you when rriaking
drying selections.
NOTE: The Automatic cycles use an auto
matic dryness control that senses the
exhaust temperature and determines the
dryness of the load.

drying if some items are damp after Aut<>
matic drying. Timed Drying is also useful for:

long drying time.

Knob to 30 minutes or less.
