CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS (CONT.)
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
Damp Dry feature
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 Temperature
selector to High heat.
Towels feature
(on some models)
When you have large loads of towels to dry, you
may want to use the
Towels feature in the
Automatic cycle. The
Towels setting allows
for more drying time
and automatically shuts
off the dryer when the
selected dryness is
reached. The Towels
feature also can be
used for extra heavy
items such as mattress pads and quilts. Set the
Temperature selector to High heat.
TUMBLE PRESS
®
feature
The TUMBLE PRESS feature in the Timed cycle
removes wrinkles from
clothes that have been
packed in a suitcase 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.
Set the Temperature
selector to Medium
or Low heat.

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
periodically tumbles,
rearranges, and fluffs the
load to avoid wrinkles.
If you do not open the
dryer door within a few
minutes after the cycle
stops, the FINISH GUARD
feature automatically
takes over to protect the load.
On some models, you can turn the FINISH GUARD
feature On or Off with a selector. (See Step 5 in
“Starting Your Dryer.”)
A signal will sound every few minutes while FINISH
GUARD is running if the Cycle Signal (End of Cycle
Signal) feature is set to On. On some models, this
signal is fixed and cannot be turned off. The signal
and cycle end when you open the dryer door.
