Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for 
 
your load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows 
 
the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically 
 
sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is 
running, the display shows the exact number of minutes 
remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few 
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle 
and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on 
the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
Follow care label directions when they are available.
If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package 
instructions.
To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon 
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent 
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. 
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to 
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
Refer to the Automatic or Manual Cycle Settings chart (in the 
“Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads. 
Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when 
 
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a 
 
different dryness level, depending on your load, by 
pressing Dryness Level and choosing More, Normal, 
 
Less, or Damp. 
NOTE: Time adjust and changing Temperature setting is 
not available with Automatic Cycles. You cannot use the 
Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with 
the Automatic Cycles.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, 
press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the 
temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing Temp until the 
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Manual 
Cycles. Changing the Dryness Level setting is not 
available with Manual Cycles.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you 
 
are drying. See the Automatic, Steam, or Manual Cycle 
 
Settings Charts.

Cycle Control knob
Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are 
drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings chart. 
Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. 
A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically 
adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. 
NOTE: Not all cycles are available on all models.
