ELECTING THE RIGHT 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.
• Use the Fluff Air cycle, or line dry rubber, plastic,
delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics (see the “Fluff
Air cycle” section).
• 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.
• Always use fabric softener sheets 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.
NOTE: Your dryer stops automatically when a
cycle ends.
Loading suggestions
The chart below provides some guidelines on various types of drying loads. Load clothes loosely into the
dryer. Do not pack the dryer; allow space for clothes to tumble freely.
