Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow
space for clothes to tumble freely. The following chart shows the
maximum load you can place in your compact dryer. Expect
longer drying times.
Heavy work 2 pair of pants, 3 work shirts
clothes
Delicates 1 camisole, 2 slips, 4 undergarments,
1 set of sleepwear, 1 half slip

slacks
Knits 2 slacks, 2 shirts; or 3 dresses

Select the correct cycle for your load.
Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
• Follow care label directions when they are available.
• If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
• 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.
Cycle and temperature tips
• Dry most loads using the Normal Dry setting (*).
• 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.

Auto Dry II
Use this cycle to dry most loads. Dryness is determined by
thermostats that react to the amount of moisture in the air
exhausted from the dryer. Moist air indicates clothes are damp.
Dry air indicates that moisture has been removed.
This cycle includes a 10 minute (approximately) cool down period
at the end of the cycle to make clothes easier to handle and
reduce wrinkling.
Dry most loads using the Normal Dry (,) setting. When the cycle
ends, check the dryness of the load.
• If the load is drier than you like, 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, complete drying using the
Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar load, select a
setting closer to MORE DRY.
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to
the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. See
"Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips."
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the
Auto Dry II cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for heavyweight and
bulky items, such as bedspreads, work clothes, and large loads
that require a long drying time. Use this cycle to get up to
105 minutes of heated drying time. The heating cycle is followed
by a 10 minute (approximately) cool down period.
Air Dry
Use the Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat
such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart
shows examples of items that can be dried using an air cycle.
Type of Load Minutes*
Foam rubber--pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys 20 - 30
Plastic--shower curtains, tablecloths 20 - 30
Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50
Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon 10 - 20
*Reset time as needed to allow items to dry completely.
When using Air Dry
• Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.
• Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.
• Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
End of Cycle Signal
Your dryer sounds a signal when a drying cycle is finished.This
signal is helpful when you are drying items that need to be
removed as soon as the dryer stops in order to prevent wrinkles.
