Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Auto Dry Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, 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 Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. 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 desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

■To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

■Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■Refer to the Auto Dry chart or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

■Drying temperature and Auto Dry Level are preset when you choose an Auto Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Auto Dry Level and choosing More or Less.

■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing Temperature until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose an Auto Dry Level with Manual Cycles.
