Frigidaire FFQE5100PW Owner's Manual

9

This manual covers many models and not all cycles, options, or features listed are available on every model. Consoles shown 

above for reference only. Your model may differ.

Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle 

desired.

To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel 

button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the 

cycle selector knob to another selection will not change 

the cycle.

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the 

correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars 

at the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of 

the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto 

Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the 

selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto 

Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.
The estimated drying time will be displayed for about 5 

minutes. Then the outside of the display will light up in a 

circular track to indicate the drying time is automatically 

being determined by the sensors.

When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it 

will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This 

helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle 

during unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of 

load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost 

dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough 

moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end 

after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry 

cycle.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and 

electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying 

time.

Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry bedding and bulky  

items such as comforters, blankets, sleeping bags and 

parkas.
normal

Select this Auto Dry cycle for cotton items.
casual

Select this Auto Dry cycle for cottons and blends with a 

no-iron fi nish.

To manually select the drying time for any load, 

turn the knob to a numbered setting: 30, 60, or 90 

minutes. Actual drying time will be displayed. 
Because this is not an Auto Dry cycle, you will not be 

able to select a dryness level. Moisture sensing bars are 

not active and dryer will continue to heat throughout 

the cycle until the fi nal cool down period.

Follow the fabric care label 

instructions on items 

to be dried.

To avoid fi re hazard, do not use heat to dry items 

containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics 

similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the Timed 

Dry cycle and the Air Dry setting.
