the chart on page 10 for more information
about the Fluff Air cycle.

high heat setting to dry
large items or items that
are thicker or heavier
than a regular load
(such as heavy cotton
bath sheets or robes).

which are easier to press when damp.
TUMBLE PRESS“
Cycle
(on some models1
The TUMBLE PRESS
cycle removes wrinkles
from clothes that have
been packed in a suit-
case or closet, or from
items not removed from
the dryer at the end of a cycle. As soon as the
dryer stops, fold or put the items on hangers.
FINISH GUARD’
Feature
(on some models)
When you are unable to
remove a load from the
dryer as soon as it stops,
wrinkles can form. The
FINISH GUARD feature
tumbles the load without
heat every few minutes up to 45 minutes after
the cycle ends. This tumbling rearranges and
fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.
You do not have to set the Cycle Control
Knob for the FINISH GUARD feature. If you
do not open the dryer door within a few
minutes after the cycle stops, the FINISH
GUARD feature takes over to protect the
load.
A signal sounds every few minutes when
FINISH GUARD is running. The signal and
cycle stop when you open the dryer door.
NOTE: See page 11 if your model has a
FINISH GUARD ON/OFF selector.
Rack Dry Feature
(on some models)
You may want to dry
some items without
tumbling (such as wool
sweaters, stuffed toys, or
pillows). Use the drying
rack (see page 12) and
the Rack Dry feature for
these items. Be sure to use a low temperature
setting.
During the drying cycle, the drum turns,
but the rack does not move. Drying time
depends on the amount of moisture in the
items.
NOTES:

Be sure to follow the instructions on page
12 for installing the drying rack in your
dryer and placing items on the rack.
l
Use the chart on page 12 to determine
temperatures and drying times.

You may use either the Timed cycle or
Fluff Air cycle for rack drying.
