Polyester Knits & Permanent Press Drying Tips
• DO NOT OVERLOAD—
Garments being dried or
dewrinkled should tumble freely.
• REMOVE CLOTHES
PROMPTLY—To help prevent
wrinkling, remove clothes from
the dryer promptly at the end of
the drying cycles.
• PLACE ON HANGERS—
Permanent press and polyester
knit garments look best if placed
on hangers after drying.
The Difference Between Automatic, Timed and Air Drying
Automatic Drying
The Automatic cycles use a solid sensing device,
located on the back of the dryer drum, to measure
the amount of moisture in the load. The sensor
“feels” the moisture in items as they tumble over it.
As the items begin to dry, the moisture level drops.
When the proper degree of dryness is sensed, the
timer advances into a gentle heat, then cools down.
Timed Drying.
When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number
of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at
the end of this time period. The last 5 minutes of this
cycle are without heat. This helps make the load
easier to handle.
Air Cycle.
The dryer does not heat when the Cycle Control knob
is set on AIR. This cycle can be used to fluff or air dry
bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam rubber pillows,
stuffed toys, sneakers, etc.
Do not dry plastic or rubber items with heat.
Use AIR setting, or line dry. Failure to do so
could result in fire or damaged items.
