Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.

Your dryer tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes 
of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.

■

Follow care label directions when they are available.

■

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package 
instructions.

■

Remove load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to 
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent 
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

■

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic 

 

Setting (

).

■

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.

Cycles

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 Drying 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 and size of load.

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.

Foam rubber—pillows, padded bras, stuffed 
toys

Plastic—shower curtains, tablecloths

Rubber-backed rugs

Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon

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

■

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.

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after the 
automatic cycle.

Timed Dry 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.

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 removed as soon as the dryer stops.
