Cycles-EL4030V Regular and GL403OV cycles The regular cydes describe the types of bads they are designed to dry. Each cyde is followed by a 5 minute ml-down period.

Use HEAVY to dry such kerns as towels, jeans, corduroys and work clothes. Use MED to dry items such as sheets, pilbwcases, cotton underwear and diapers.
Use AUTO-SENSE PERMANENT PRESS to dry permanent press, knits and other synthetic items. The bad tumbfes w&out heat during the last 10 minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from setting in and makes the bad easier to handle. For the first few bads, set the Cycle Control Knob to point to NORMAL DRY in either auto matb cycle. When the dryer stops, feel the dried items. l lf the items are drier than you like, set the Cycle Control Knob more to the right of NORMAL DRY the next time you dry a similar bad.
Using DAMP DRY Use this setting to damp dry hems that do not require an entire drying cycle, or to dry items to damp level.
