5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If your dryer has a Cycle
Signal (End of Cycle Signal) selector, set the
selector to On if you want the dryer to sound a
signal when a cycle is finished.
The signal is helpful when you are drying
permanent press, synthetics, and other items
that should be removed from the dryer as
soon as it stops.
On some models, the End of Cycle Signal is
part of the Start button.
On some models, the End of Cycle Signal
volume can be adjusted from Softer to Louder.

NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a
cycle ends.
STARTING YOUR DRYER (CONT.)
USING YOUR DRYER
SELECTING A CYCLE AND TEMPERATURE SETTING
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.
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting (
*
).
Use an air cycle (or temperature setting), or line
dry rubber, plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive
fabrics.
If some types of loads in the cycle descriptions
on the following pages have more than one
suggested temperature setting, choose the
lowest setting available on your dryer.
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.
If you use fabric softener sheets, always use
softener sheets that are 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.
Stopping and restarting your dryer
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer:
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob
to Off.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an
Off area when the dryer is not in use.
To restart your dryer:
Close the door, select a new cycle and temperature
(if desired), and push the Start button.
