serious injury or death to persons, read
the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS In your Use and Care
Guide before operating the dryer.
Available Drying Cycles
NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying
items that can be dried with heat. These cycles
automatically dry loads to the dryness level
selected.
MORE DRY will dry very small loads and some
heavy items, such as blue jeans, but will overdry
lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts.
Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking,
excessive lint conditions, and will use more energy
than necessary.
LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry
large loads and lightweight items, such as sheets
and shirts, but might leave other items, such as
denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.
To increase energy savings and to make sure loads
are dried without overdrying, set your loads on
LESS DRY. If items are damp at the end of a cycle,
the timer knob needs to be set closer to the MORE
DRY setting the next time these loads are dried. If
items are overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer
knob should be set closer to
COOL DOWN or
COOL TUMBLE when these loads are dried again.
Remember the settings that work best to get ideal
drying results.
The COOL DOWN and COOL TUMBLE period at
the end of each cycle provides items a chance to
tumble with no heat and cool down to room
temperature. This prevents wrinkles from setting if
items cannot be cared for immediately.
The ENERGY SAVER!DAMP DRY settings,
marked with a dot (•), .show which settings will use
the least energy and will leave items damp for
easier ironing.
NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as
quickly in the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in
the TIME DRY cycle. The time it takes for the
timer to advance depends on the type and size of
the load being dried.
Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle
Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and
also for delicate items. The type of heat is
determined by choosing the proper Fabric Selector
option. There are two settings in the AUTOMATIC
REGULAR/DELICATE cycle—MORE
DRY, and
LESS DRY.
Time Dry Cycle
This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes.
Cottons and heavyweight items dry best between
50 and 75 minutes, and lightweight items dry best
between 20 and 40 minutes.
Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. The
type of heat is determined by selecting the proper
Fabric Selector option. There are two settings in
the AUTOMATIC PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS
cycle — MORE DRY, and LESS DRY.
