CYCLI DESCRlPllONS
Automatic cycle(s)
Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads. The
Automatic cycle shuts
off the dryer when the
selected dryness is
reached. The Cycle
Control Knob does not
move until the load is
almost dry. After the
cool-down, the Knob
automatically turns to
an Off area and tum-
bling stops.
0 If the load is drier than you like, select a setting
closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
0 If the load is not as dry as you like, complete
drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting
closer to Very Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
Drying time with an Automatic cycle varies accord-
ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness
setting. Your model may not have all heat settings
listed. Some general guidelines are:
0 Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight
items, such as towels and work clothes.
a Use a medium heat setting for drying
mediumweight items, such as sheets, underwear,
permanent press clothes, and some knits.
l
Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight
items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and
some knits.
NOTE: If you have any questions about drying
temperatures for various loads, refer to care label
directions.
Timed cycle(s)
Use a Timed cycles to complete drying if some
items are damp after
the Automatic cycle.
The Timed cycle is also
useful for:
l
Heavyweight and
bulky items, such as
bedspreads and work
clothes, and large loads
that require a long drying
time. Set your dryer for
High heat.
0 Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and
knits that require a short drying time. Set your
dryer for Low heat.
l
Drying time and temperature will depend on your
dryer model.
No Heathff cycle
(on some models)
Use the unheated No Heat/Fluff cycle for items that
require drying without
heat. The chart on page
12 includes examples of
items that require drying
without heat.
NOTE: If your model
does not have the No
Heat/Fluff cycle, line dry
heat-sensitive items.
Damp Dry feature
(on some models)
Use the Damp Dry feature in the Timed cycle to dry
items to damp level or
to dry 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. Set the Tempera-
ture selector to High heat.
