Drying guidelines
• Always follow care label directions when
they are available.
• Use the Fluff Air cycie, or line dry rubber,
plastic, delicate, and heat-sensitive fabrics
(see page 10).
• The iast few minutes of all cycles are without
heat to make the load easier to handle.
• To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load
from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.
This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
' Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static
cling, and damage to some fabrics.
' Referto pages 13-16 for
information about:
- sorting clothes for drying
- choosing load sizes
- drying tips
- using dryer fabric softeners
- saving energy
- drying special-care items.
Cycle descriptions
Automatic cycle(s)
Dry most loads using the Energy
Preferred Automatic Setting (* *).
Your Automatic cycle(s) shuts off when the
selected dryness is
reached. The Cycle
^ Control Knob will not
move until the load is
jm ijff ^ almost dry. After the
■r I yV J cool-down, the knob auto­
matically turns to an Off
area and tumbling stops.
• If the load is drier than you like, select a
setting closer to Less Dry the next time
you dry a similar load.
• If the load is not as dry as you iike, com­
plete drying using a Timed cycie. Seiect a
setting closer to Very Dry the next time you
dry a similar load.
Some models offer high heat and low heat
Automatic cycles (see page 9).
NOTES:
• Some Automatic cycles use an electronic
Dry-Miser® controi that senses the amount
of moisture in the load.
• Other Automatic cycles use an automatic
Dry-Miser control that senses the exhaust
temperature and determines the dryness
of the load.
Timed cycle(s)
Use a Timed cycle to complete drying if
some items are damp
1^ ■ •*. m after Automatic drying.
^ Timed drying is also
useful for:
• Delicate items and
small loads that need
a short drying time.
• Bulky items and large
loads that require a
long drying time.
Some models offer high heat and low heat
Timed cycles (see page 9).
Fluff Air cycle
(on some models)
The Fluff Air cycle has no heat. Use this un-
H
heated cycle to fluff or air
dry bedding, plast c table-
cioths, foam pillows,
sneakers, etc. See page
10 for more information
about the Fluff Air cycle.
NOTE: If your model
does not have the Fluff
Air cycle, line dry heat-sensitive items.
