Timed drying
Use the TIMED DRYING Cycles for
any load you want to dry by time.
• Turn the Control Knob to the number
of minutes you want - from 10 to 50.
• The last 10 minutes of this cycle are
without heat - a cool-down time.
This helps make the load easier to
handle.

Gentle Heat
The dryer automatically reduces the heating settings in the automatic
cycles. During the last few minutes of these cycles the dryer gradually
reduces to a lower heat setting. This helps prevent overdrying.
