AUTOMATIC DRY/SENSOR DRY

These automatic cycles may be used to dry most loads. Your

dryer uses either the electronic Sensor Dry system or the

Automatic Dry control• Automatic Dry senses the temperature of
the load. Sensor Dry senses the moisture level in the load. These

cycles automatically shut off when load reaches the selected
dryness.

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•

Most loads may be dried using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting. At the end of the cycle, check the dryness of the load.

• If the load is drier than you like, you may 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, you may complete drying
using the Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar

load, you may select a setting closer to Very Dry.

NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to

the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. On some

models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.

WRINKLE PREVENT feature (On some models)

• Automatic
Activates at the end of the Auto-Sense Dry cycle if you do not

open the dryer door within a few minutes. This feature starts
and stops the dryer, tumbling the load without heat for up to

40 minutes to help keep wrinkles from forming.

• WRINKLE PREVENT PLUS
You may choose 30 or 90 minutes of periodic unheated

tumbling after the cycle ends.

NOTE: A signal will sound periodically if the End of Cycle Signal
is selected.

TIMED DRY

The Timed Dry cycle may be used to complete drying if items are

still damp after the automatic cycle.

Timed Dry is also useful for:

• Heavyweight and bulky items that require a longer drying time.

• Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses and knits that
require a short drying time.

NOTE: On some models, temperature is included in the cycle
selections. On models with a selectable temperature knob, you
may choose a setting based on the fabrics in your load. Drying

time and temperature will depend on your dryer model.

You may select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, you
may select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.

Temperature Tips

If your dryer has multiple heat settings:

• A high heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items
such as towels and work clothes•

• A low to medium heat setting may be used for drying medium-
weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear,
permanent press fabrics and some knits.

• An extra-low to low heat setting may be used for drying
lightweight items such as lingerie.

• You may 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.

The End of Cycle Signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On
some models the End of Cycle Signal is fixed. On others the End
of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound only if set to

On.
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the End of

Cycle Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The
signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control

knob to Off.

necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, pillows, stuffed toys).
