Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic 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.

• 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.

• Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

• Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

• Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.

Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or

LESS.

• If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,

you must press plus (+) or minus (-) buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual Cycles.
