Cycle Selection

For best results, follow the fabric care label instruc=

tions on items to be dried.

Auto Dry
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying
time. The load will automatically be dried at the
selected temperature to the desired dryness level.
The dryer senses the moisture level of the load as
ittumbles through heated air. Auto Dry cycles save
time and energy and protect fabrics.

When the load has reached the selected dryness
level, it will continue to tumble, unheated, during a
Cool Down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and
makes items easier to handle during unloading.

Drying time varies depending on size and damp=
ness of load, weight and fabric type. Room tem=
perature and humidity, type of installationand elec=
trical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying

time.

Occasionally a load may seem too damp or over-
dried at the end of the cycle. To increase drying

time for similar loads in the future, select More

Less Dry.

Select Damp Dry for items you wish to partially

dry before hanging or ironing.

[eve[ is available with every cycle.

Select Wrinkle Rid if the dried load might not be
removed promptly at the end of the cycle. The dry
load will continue tumbling without heat for 30 min-
utes to help reduce wrinkling. When the Cycle

cally. The load may be removed any time during

Wrinkle Rid.

Select Soft Heat to protect fabrics from the effects
of over-drying. Wrinkling, static build-up, [inting,

fading and harshness can occur if loads are dried

too long at the wrong temperature. As the load
tumbles and becomes drier, the temperature is
gradually lowered.
