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.

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not 
have all of the features described.

Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items such as 
thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if 
available, to Hot (or High) Heat. 

Select this setting to thoroughly dry heavy items such as sheets, 
mattress pads and quilts, or a load of towels. Set the 
Temperature selector, if available, to Hot (or High) Heat.

Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron 
items such as shirts, blouses or dresses. Choose a Medium Heat 
setting if available.

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short 
drying time. Choose a Hot (or High) or Medium Heat setting 
depending on the type of fabrics being dried.

Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the 
Temperature selector, if available, to Low or Heat.

Select this setting to remove wrinkles from such items as clothing 
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer 
too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to Medium or 
Low Heat depending on the fabrics in your load.

Select this setting to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items 
that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such 
as jeans (to prevent 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.

When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as 
it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Guard II feature 
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load for up to 
30 minutes without heat to avoid wrinkles. Press the Wrinkle 
Guard ON button to enable the Wrinkle Guard II feature. A signal 
will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Guard II feature is on if 
the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling 
will end when you open the dryer door, or when you turn the 
Cycle Control knob to Off.

■

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 Guard II 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).

If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by  
contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

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 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 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.

4. Press PUSH TO START. Reset cycle to complete drying, if 

needed.

NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not 
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.   

*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying if needed.
