If your dryer has a Temperature Selector with
4 temperature settings (ex low, low, med,
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 types of
loads.
Using Heavy Dry
(on some models)
Use Heavy Dry and a high heat setting to diy
large items or items that are thicker or heavier
than a regular load (heavy cotton bath sheets
or robes).
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.
