■ Select the temperature from the temperature selector based
on the fabrics in your load.
After drying a load, check the dryness.
■ If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Delicates the next time you dry a similar load.
■ If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Heavy the next time
you dry a similar load.
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of
fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying
time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”
Timed Drying cycle(s)
Select the correct Timed Drying setting and temperature for your
load.
Use a longer Timed Drying setting for heavyweight and bulky
items, such as bedspreads and work clothes, or large loads that
require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if
available, to High Heat.
Use a shorter Timed Drying setting for lightweight items such as
lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based
on the fabrics in your load.
Air Fluff or Air Dry cycles
Use the Air Fluff or Air Dry cycle for items that require drying
without heat such as rubber, plastic or heat-sensitive fabrics. Set
the Cycle Control knob to Air Fluff or Air Dry. This chart shows
examples of items that can be dried using the Air Fluff or Air Dry
cycle.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying if needed.
When using Air Fluff or Air Dry
■ Check that coverings are securely stitched.
■ Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during cycle.
■ Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
Additional Features
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the features described.
Heavy Dry
Select this cycle to evenly dry large or heavy items such as thick
cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if
available, to High Heat.
Cotton
Select this cycle to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets,
mattress pads and quilts, or a load of towels. Set the
Temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.
Synthetics/Permanent Press
Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron
items such as shirts, blouses, or dresses. Set the temperature
selector, if available, to Low Heat.
Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending
on the types of fabrics being dried.
Delicates
Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the
Temperature selector, if available, to Low Heat.
TUMBLE PRESS setting
Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items such as clothing
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer
too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to Low Heat.
Damp Dry
Select this cycle to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that
do not require an entire drying cycle. Use the Damp Dry cycle on
items such as jeans (to avoid stiffness) or cotton clothing (to
make pressing easier). If your model has a Temperature selector,
choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load.
End of Cycle Signal
■ The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If
your End of Cycle signal is selectable, the signal will sound
only if set to On.
■ If the Wrinkle Shield feature is on, the signal sounds every few
minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the
Cycle Control knob to Off.
Wrinkle Shield Feature
When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as
it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Shield feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load for up to
30 minutes without heat to help keep wrinkles from forming. Turn
the Wrinkle Shield knob to ON to enable the Wrinkle Shield
feature. A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Shield
feature is on if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and
the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door, or when you
turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.
