Heavy Dry cycle
(on some models)
Use Heavy Dry and a high heat setting to
dry iarge items or items
that are thicker or heavier
than a reguiar ioad (such
as heavy cotton bath
sheets or robes).
Damp Dry cycle
(on some models)
Use Damp Dry to dry items to damp ievei or
to dry items that do not
require an entire drying
cycie. 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.
TUMBLE PRESS® cycle
(on some models)
The TUMBLE PRESS cycle removes
wrinkles from clothes that
have been packed in a
suitcase or closet, or
from items not removed
from the dryer at the end
of a cycle. As soon as
the dryer stops, fold or
put the items on hangers.
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
selected dryness is
reached. The Towels
feature also can be used for extra heavy
items such as mattress pads and quilts.

FINISH GUARD® feature
(on some models)
When you are unable to remove a load from
the dryer as soon as it
stops, wrinkles can form.
The FINISH GUARD
feature tumbles the load
without heat every few
minutes up to 45 minutes
after the cycle ends. This
tumbling rearranges and
fluffs the load to avoid
wrinkles. You do not have to set the Cycle
Control Knob for the FINISH GUARD
feature. If you do not open the dryer door
within a few minutes after the cycle stops,
the FINISH GUARD feature takes over to
protect the load.
A signal sounds every few minutes when
FINISH GUARD is running. The signal and
cycle stop when you open the dryer door.
NOTE: See page 11 if your model has a
FINISH GUARD On/Off selector.
Rack Dry feature
(on some models)
You may want to dry some items without
tumbling (such as wool
sweaters, stuffed toys, or
pillows). Use the drying
rack (see page 12) and
the Rack Dry feature for
these items, and a low
temperature setting.
During the drying cycle,
the drum turns, but the
rack does not move. Drying time depends
on the amount of moisture in the items.
NOTES:
• Be sure to follow the instructions on page
12 for installing the drying rack in your
dryer and placing items on the rack.
• Use the chart on page 12 to determine
temperatures and drying times.
• You may use either the Timed cycle or
Fluff Air cycle for rack drying.
