into a cool dow n p erio d las ting 2-10 minutes. Un like o t he r d rye rs
that provide a fixed
"SMART" cool down is based on the cycle time and selected
dryness setting.

Loading
Properly loading your dryer can lower your utility bill and prolong
the life of your garments .
Loading suggestions
■ Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by
their weight.
■ Do not overload the dryer. This causes uneven drying and
wrinkling.

Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
The display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is
automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a cycle is
using Timed Dry, the display shows the exact number of minutes
remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Dow n makes the loads easier to
handle. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size
and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If you use fabric softener sheets, use only ones labeled as
dryer safe. Follow package instructions.
■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Use this chart as a guide to dry various loads. Dr yi ng
temperature and Auto Dry Level (Normal Dry) are pr eset when
you choose an Auto Dry cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load. (See “Modifiers.”)
■ For a Timed cycle, drying temperature is preset. You cannot
choose an Auto Dry Level with a Timed Dry cycle.
