Using the Controls
Select Cycle
To select a cycle, rotate the control dial to the desired
setting. When using an Auto Dry cycle, the control dial
should point between More Dry and Less Dry for most
loads.
Loads of larger or bulkier size may require the More
Dry setting to completely dry the load. The Less Dry
setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for
leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the
cycle.
Auto Dry Regular
The Auto Dry Regular cycle is designed to dry loads
such as towels, underwear, t-shirts, jeans, etc.
Auto Dry Wrinkle Free Fabrics
The Auto Dry Wrinkle Free Fabrics cycle is designed to
dry wrinkle free cottons, synthetic fabrics, double knits
and permanent press fabrics automatically. It
minimizes wrinkling by providing a longer unheated
cool-down period at the end of the cycle.
Time Dry/Air Fluff
This cycle can be used to regulate the drying time. Use
with Air Fluff, Delicate, Medium or Regular temperature
settings. For timed drying, turn the control dial until the
pointer points to the proper time setting in the Time
Dry/Air Fluff cycle.
Note
Using the Air Fluff temperature setting will require
a longer drying time.
STEP 3
Special Options
Damp Dry is located on the Time Dry/Air Fluff section
of the dial. It is designed to partially dry items and can
be used with any temperature selection. Damp Dry
will provide 20 minutes of tumbling time, followed by
five minutes of cool-down tumbling.
Wrinkle Release will release wrinkles from items that
are clean and dry but only slightly wrinkled, such as
from a crowded closet or suitcase, or from sitting in
the dryer too long after the cycle has ended. Wrinkle
Release provides 10 minutes of tumbling followed by
five minutes of cool-down tumbling and can be used
with any temperature selection.
Note
•The dial can be turned in either direction to select
a cycle. Once started, the dial will not advance at
a specific rate during the Auto Dry cycles. At first
the dial may not advance at all. Toward the end of
the cycle (when the load begins to dry) the dial
will advance at a more regular rate and much
more quickly. This is normal operation.
