Cycle control knob and a temperature selector (2 settings)
Cycle control knob Temperature selector Start button
If your dryer has a Temperature Selector with
2 temperature settings (low, high), refer to the
chart below and the chart on page 9 for cycle
information.
Loads tumble without heat during the last
few minutes of all heated cycles. This makes a
load easier to handle and helps keep wrinkles
from setting in.
Using your automatic cycle
Use your automatic cycle and a heat setting to
automatically dry most loads. The chart below
suggests heat settings for various loads.
NOTE: To help reduce wrinkling, remove the
load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.
This is important for permanent press, knits
and synthetic fabrics. Do not overdry.
Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling,
and damage some fabrics.
