USING YOUR DRYER
End of cycle signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know
when the cycle is finished. The signal is not
adjustable and cannot be turned off.
The signal is helpful when you are drying
permanent press, synthetics, and other
items that should be taken out as soon as
the dryer stops.

The following pages describe the drying
cycles on your dryer. The descriptions
include suggested temperature settings
and drying times for various loads.
Cycle and temperature tips
Make sure you have selected the correct
cycle and temperature for your load.
Use the Air cycle, or line dry rubber,
plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive
fabrics.
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.
Always use fabric softener sheets 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.
