heat-sensitive fabrics, always use the

fluff Air cycle or dry these items on a line

or rack (see page 10).

The last few minutes of all cycles are

without heat to make the load easier

to handle.

To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load

from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.

This is especially important for permanent

press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static

cling, and damage to some fabrics.

about:

- sorting clothes for drying

- choosing load sizes

- drying tips

- using dryer fabric softeners

- saving energy

Your Automatic cycle(s)

move until the load is almost dry. After the

setting closer to VERY DRY the next time

you dry a similar load.

Some models offer high heat and low heat

Automatic cycles (see page 9).

NOTES:

Some Automatic cycles use an

electronic

DRY-MISEFT control that senses the

amount of moisture in the load.

Other Automatic cycles use an

automatic

DRY-MISER control that senses the

exhaust temperature and determines the

dryness of the load.

Timed Cycle(s)

Use a Timed Cycle to

complete drying if some

items are damp after

Automatic drying. Timed

drying is also useful for:

Delicate items and

small loads that need

a short drying time.

Bulky items and large loads that require

long drying time.

NOTE: Some models offer high heat and low

heat Timed Cycles (see page 9).

Fluff Air Cycle

(on some models)

The Fluff Air cycle has

no heat. Use this un-

heated cycle to fluff or

air dry bedding, plastic

tablecloths, foam pil-

lows, sneakers, etc.

See the Warning and

the chart on page 10 for more information

about the Fluff Air cycle.

NOTE: If your model does not have the

Fluff Air cycle, line dry heat-sensitive items.

Heavy Dry Cycle

(on some models)

Use Heavy Dry and a

high heat setting to dry

large items or items that

are thicker or heavier

than a regular load

(such as heavy cotton

bath sheets or robes).

Damp

Dry Cycle

(on some models)

Use Damp Dry to dry

items to damp level or to

dry items that do not re-

quire 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.

TUMBLE PRESS“

Cycle

(on some models1

The TUMBLE PRESS

cycle removes wrinkles

from clothes that have

been packed in a suit-

case 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.

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

tumbles the load without

heat every few minutes up to 45 minutes after

the cycle ends. This tumbling rearranges and

fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.

You do not have to set the Cycle Control

Knob for the FINISH GUARD feature. If you

do not open the dryer door within a few

minutes after the cycle stops, the FINISH

GUARD feature takes over to protect the

load.

A signal sounds every few minutes when

FINISH GUARD is running. The signal and

cycle stop when you open the dryer door.

NOTE: See page 11 if your model has a

FINISH GUARD ON/OFF selector.

Rack Dry Feature

(on some models)

You may want to dry

some items without

tumbling (such as wool

sweaters, stuffed toys, or

pillows). Use the drying

rack (see page 12) and

the Rack Dry feature for

these items. Be sure to use a low temperature

setting.

During the drying cycle, the drum turns,

but the rack does not move. Drying time

depends on the amount of moisture in the

items.

NOTES:

Be sure to follow the instructions on page

12 for installing the drying rack in your

dryer and placing items on the rack.

Use the chart on page 12 to determine

temperatures and drying times.

You may use either the Timed cycle or

Fluff Air cycle for rack drying.

Drying cycles chart

Use the chart below to guide you when

making drying selections. The chart sug-

gests heat settings and drying times for

various loads.

NOTES:

Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.

Use

Timed cycle only if the recom-

mended Automatic cycle is not available.

If some types of loads in the chart have

more than one suggested temperature

setting, choose the lowest setting avail-

able on your dryer.

Always follow care label directions when

they are available.
