Select the temperature from the temperature selector based
on the fabrics in your load.
After drying a load, check the dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Delicates the next time you dry a similar load.
If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a
Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Heavy the next time
you dry a similar load.
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of
fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying
time. See "Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips."
Timed Drying cycle(s)
Select the correct Timed Drying setting and temperature for your
load.
Use a longer Timed Drying setting for heavyweight and bulky
items, such as bedspreads and work clothes, or large loads that
require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if
available, to High Heat.
Use a shorter Timed Drying setting for lightweight items such as
lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based
on the fabrics in your load.
Air Fluff or Air Dry cycles
Use the Air Fluff or Air Dry cycle for items that require drying
without heat such as rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.
Set
the Cycle Control knob to Air Fluff or Air Dry. This chart shows
examples of items that can be dried using the Air Fluff or Air Dry
cycle.

Additional Features
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the features described.
Heavy Dry
Select this cycle to evenly dry large or heavy items such as thick
cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if
available, to High Heat.
Cotton
Select this cycle to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets,
mattress pads, and quilts, or a load of towels. Set the Temperature
selector, if available, to High Heat.
Synthetics/Permanent Press
Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron
items such as shirts, blouses, or dresses. Set the temperature
selector, if available, to Low Heat.
Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending on
the types of fabrics being dried.
Delicates
Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the
Temperature selector, if available, to Low Heat.
Tumble Press Setting
Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items such as clothing
packed in a suitcase, or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer
too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to Low Heat.
Damp Dry
Select this cycle to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that
do not require an entire drying cycle. Use the Damp Dry cycle on
items such as jeans (to avoid stiffness), or cotton clothing (to make
pressing easier). If your model has a Temperature selector, choose
a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If
your End of Cycle signal is selectable, the signal will sound
only if set to On.
If the Wrinkle Shield feature is on, the signal sounds every few
minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the
Cycle Control knob to Off.

The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys).
You can order a drying rack by contacting the dealer from whom
you purchased your dryer.
To use the drying rack
1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put the wet items on top of the drying rack. Leave space
between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the
door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the drying
rack.
3. Select cycle and temperature to match the fabrics in your
load. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following
table.
