OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Cycle Descriptions
Auto Sense Dry Cycle(s)
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting (
*
). Your Auto Sense Dry
cycle(s) shuts off when the selected dryness
is reached. The Cycle Control Knob will not
move until the load is almost dry. After the
cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to
an Off area and tumbling stops.
If the load is drier than you like, select
Less Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
If the load is not as dry as you like, com-
plete drying using the Timed Dry cycle.
Select Very Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
Your dryer has both a High Heat cycle (Auto
Sense Dry or Timed Dry) and a Low Heat
cycle (Auto Sense Dry). Refer to the Drying
chart within the “Operating Your Dryer”
section to guide you when making drying
selections.
NOTE: The Auto Sense Dry cycles use an
automatic dryness control that senses the
exhaust temperature and determines the
dryness of the load.
Timed Dry Cycle
Your dryer offers High Heat in the Timed Dry
cycle. Use the Timed Dry cycle to complete
drying if some items are damp after using an
Auto Sense Dry cycle. Timed Dry is also
useful for:
Bulky items and large loads that require a
long drying time.
Damp drying items; turn the Cycle Control
Knob to 30 minutes or less.
Refer to the Drying chart within the “Operat-
ing Your Dryer” section for Timed Drying
suggestions.
Damp Dry Feature
Use this feature to dry items to damp level
or to dry damp items that do not require an
entire drying cycle. Two examples are heavy
cottons, such as jeans, which you do not
want to become stiff, or cotton clothes which
are easier to press when damp.
De-Wrinkle Feature
The De-Wrinkle feature removes wrinkles
from clothes that have been packed in a
suitcase, or from items not removed from
the dryer at the end of a cycle. Put only a
few items in your dryer for best results when
using this cycle. As soon as the dryer stops,
fold or put the items on hangers.
No Heat/Fluff Cycle
The No Heat/Fluff cycle has no heat. Use
this unheated cycle to fluff or air dry bed-
ding, plastic tablecloths, foam pillows, etc.
Refer to the Drying chart within the “Operat-
ing Your Dryer” section for more information.
