Timed cycle(s)
Use a Timed drying cycle to complete drying if
some items are damp
after the Automatic
cycle. A Timed drying
cycle is also useful for:
• Heavyweight and
bulky items, such as
bed spreads and work
clothes, and large loads
that require a long
drying time. Set your
dryer to a heat setting
that matches the care label directions.
• Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and
knits that require a short drying time. Set your
dryer for a low or extra low heat.
• Drying time and temperature will depend on your
dryer model.
Fluff Air cycle
(on some models)
Use the unheated Fluff Air cycle for items that
require drying without
heat. For examples of
items that require air
drying, see the “Fluff
Air cycle” later in this
section.
NOTE: If your model
does not have the
Fluff Air cycle, use the
Timed Drying cycle
and the “Air” Temp-
erature setting, or line dry heat-sensitive items.
Heavy Dry cycle
(on some models)
Use the Heavy Dry cycle to dry large items or
items that are thicker
or heavier than a regu-
lar load (such as heavy
cotton bath towels or
robes.) Set your Cycle
Control knob to Heavy
Dry and your Tempera-
ture selector to High
heat.

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 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 se-
lected dryness is
reached. You can also
use the Towels feature
for extra heavy items
such as mattress pads and quilts. Set your dryer to
a heat setting that matches the care label direc-
tions.
Delicates feature
(on some models)
When you have small loads or loads of lightweight
items to dry, you may
want to use the
Delicates feature in the
Automatic cycle. The
Delicates setting allows
less drying time and
automatically shuts off
the dryer when the
selected dryness is
reached. Set the
Temperature selector to
Ex-Low heat.
