Maytag MEDE500W オーナーマニュアル

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your 

load. If a Sensor Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated 

cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness 

level of your load. If a Timed 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.

■

Follow care label directions when they are available.

■

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package 

instructions.

■

Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to 
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent 

press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

■

Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could 

cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased 
shrinking or wrinkling.

■

If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items, rearrange the 

load when the signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process.

■

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■

Refer to the Sensor or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the 

“Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads. 

■

Drying temperature and Sensor Cycles Dryness are preset to 

Normal when you choose a Sensor Cycle and will dry most 

loads adequately using the most efficient amount of energy. 

You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your 

load by pressing the SENSOR CYCLES DRYNESS button to 

select More Dry, Normal, or Less Dry. 

■

If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, you 

must press the TIME ADJUST up or down buttons. Adjust the 

temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TIMED CYCLES 

TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a Sensor Cycles Dryness with 

Timed, Steam, or Sanitize Cycles. Some cycles are not 

available on all models.

NOTE: Not all cycles available on all models.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. 

See Sensor Preset or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart.
Steam Models

Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are 

drying. See the following Sensor 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.

Use this cycle for items such as towels, bedding, children’s clothing, 

or other items needing to be sanitized. This cycle is designed to 

eliminate 99.9% of 3 common infectious bacteria. This cycle should 
be run to completion to ensure sanitization. For best results, do not 

interrupt cycle.
