Loading Clothes
Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow
space for clothes to tumble freely. The following chart shows
examples of balanced loads that would allow for proper tumbling.
Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down 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 you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled
“dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.
Remove the 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
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting (
*
), if available on your dryer.
Use a High Heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels and work clothes.
Use a Medium Heat setting for drying medium weight items,
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and
some knits.
Use a Low Heat setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
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. If you are unsure
of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting
rather than a higher setting.
Cycle Descriptions
Your model may vary from the model shown.
Cycle Control knob
Automatic cycle(s)
Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the
electronic ACCUDRY™ system. The control senses the moisture
level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected
dryness.
After drying a load in the Automatic cycle, check the dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less Dry 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 Very Dry the next time
you dry a similar load.
Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric,
size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See
“Temperature tips.”
Timed Drying cycle(s)
Use Timed Drying 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.
On some models, you may use the Timed Drying cycle for
lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the temperature
selector, if available, based on the fabrics in your load.
NOTE:
Use your Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items
are still damp after the Automatic cycle.
Fluff Air cycle or Air Only setting
Use the Fluff Air cycle, or Air Only setting, for items that require
drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat sensitive
fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to Fluff Air or select Air Only
on the Temperature selector and set the Cycle Control knob to
Timed Drying. This chart shows examples of items that can be
dried using the Fluff Air cycle/Air Only setting.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using Fluff Air or Air Only
Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.
Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during cycle.
Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
