USING YOUR DRYER
SELECTING A CYCLE AND TEMPERATURE SETTING
The following pages describe the drying cycles
on your dryer. The descriptions include suggested
temperature settings and drying times for various
loads.
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.
Cycle and temperature tips
•
Make sure you have selected the correct cycle
and temperature for your load.
•
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting (

).
•
Use the No Heat Fluff cycle, or line dry rubber,
plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics.

•
If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions
have more than one suggested temperature
setting, choose the lowest setting available on
your dryer.
•
The last few minutes of all cycles are without
heat to make the load cooler to handle.
Drying tips
•
Always follow care label directions when they are
available.
•
If you use fabric softener sheets, always use
softener sheets that are labeled as dryer safe and
follow package instructions carefully.
•
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.
