left in the dryer too long.
AUTO SENSE DRY
You may use this cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the
AUTO SENSE DRY automatic control to sense the temperature in
a load and shuts off when the 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, the temperature is included in the cycle selections.
WRINKLE PREVENT feature (on some models)
The WRINKLE PREVENT feature 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 depending on the model to help
avoid wrinkling.
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 inthe 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.
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, pillows, stuffed toys).
