CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Cycle Control knob
Permanent Press Cycle
This automatic cycle shuts off the dryer when the selected 
dryness is reached. The Cycle Control knob does not move 
until the load is almost dry. After the cool down, the knob 
automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling stops.
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic Setting (
*
).
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to 
Less Dry 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 Dry. 
NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to 
the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. 
Timed Dry Cycle
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the 
automatic cycle.
Timed Drying 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.
Air Cycle
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.
*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using an air cycle
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.
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.
