How to Use Your Dryer . . .
The timer knob will not advance with the same regularity in the AUTOMATIC cycle as it does in the TIME DRY cycle.
For example, you may notice the timer knob remains in the same position for 15 minutes before it begins to move. THE TIMER IS NOT MALFUNCTIONING. This only means it took 15 minutes for the load to become dry enough to start advancing the timer knob. The length of time it takes for the timer knob to begin advancing depends on the type and size of
load being dried.

Automatic
Regular/Delicate Cycle
Cool-Down Periods
The AUTOMATIC REGULAR/ DELICATE cycle has a five minute cool-down period at the end of the cycle. During that time, the load is
tumbled with no heat. This helps
reduce wrinkling. Setting the timer knob in the COOL-DOWN position will result in the load being tumbled with no heat. Do not remove load
until COOL-DOWN period is complete and dryer stops.
Load Size
Large
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use this setting for permanent press, polyester knits, heavy and medium weight synthetics that are “no-iron”.
The COOL TUMBLE portion of this cycle is a cool-down (no heat) period. The end of cycle signal (if selected) will buzz for a short period of time at the end of cool-down. If the clothes are not removed at that time, the timer will advance into the Cool Tumble
cycle, where the signal will buzz for a short period of time for every five minutes of the 15 minute cycle before dryer stops.
