sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed 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.

• fo 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.
