Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

with dry loads to loosen wrinkles, reduce odors, and 
refresh fabrics. 
Adjusting drying time on Manual Cycles
When you select a Manual Cycle, the 
default time appears in the display.  
Use the More Time s and Less Time t 
buttons to increase or decrease the  
time in 1 minute increments. Press  
and hold to change the time in  
5 minute increments.

Using Air Dry
Use the Air Dry temperature setting with Manual Cycles for 
items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, 
and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items 
that can be dried using Air Dry.
When using Air Dry:
•  Check that coverings are securely stitched.
•  Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.
•  Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
NOTE: Air Dry can only be used with Manual Cycles. 
Selecting the Drying Temperature
A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items 
such as towels and work clothes.
A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying  
medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,  
underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
Use a no heat (Air Dry) setting for foam, 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.
