Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
Follow care label directions when they are available.
■
If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
■
instructions.
Remove load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
■
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle and temperature tips
Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive
■
fabrics.
Line-dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
■
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various
loads, refer to the care label directions.
Cycles
Auto Dry
This automatic cycle shuts off the dryer when the Auto Moisture
Sensing feature determines the selected dryness level has been
reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move until the load
is almost dry. After the cooldown, the knob automatically turns
to an Off area and tumbling stops.
Drying time with an Auto Dry cycle varies according to the type
of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less
■
the next time you dry a similar load.
If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using
■
the Timed Dry cycle. The next time you dry a similar load,
select a setting closer to More.
How Auto Moisture Sensing Works
With Auto Moisture Sensing, the dryness of the load is determined
by two metal strips (sensors) located on the inside of the dryer. The
metal strips help detect the amount of moisture left in the clothes
as they pass. When there is moisture left in the clothes, the Cycle
Control knob will not advance. As clothes begin to dry, the amount
of water left in the clothes decreases and the timer advances
through the remainder of the cycle. When the selected dryness
level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool-down period of up
to 5 minutes.

Use this cycle for items that require drying without heat, such
as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. See the chart for
examples of items that can be dried using an air cycle.

padded bras, stuffed toys

*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using an air cycle
Check that coverings are securely stitched.
■
Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during cycle.
■
Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
■
Timed Dry Cycle
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after
the automatic cycle.
Timed Dry is also useful for:
Heavyweight items and work clothes that require a long
■
drying time.
Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and knits that
■
require a short drying time.
For damp dry, turn the Cycle Control knob to 30 minutes or less.
End-of-Cycle Signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when the cycle is
finished. The signal is not adjustable and cannot be turned off.
The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press,
synthetics, and other items that should be taken out as soon
as the dryer stops.
