USING YOUR DRYER

C

YCLE DESCRIPTIONS

Automatic cycle(s)

Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads. 

Depending on your
model, the Automatic
cycle uses either the
electronic ACCUDRY*
system or the 
automatic DRY-MISER*
control that senses the 
moisture in the load
and 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.

•

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 a Timed cycle. Select a setting clos-
er to Very Dry the next time you dry a similar
load.

Drying time with an Automatic cycle varies accord-
ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness
setting. Your model may not have all heat settings
listed. Some general guidelines are:

•

Use a high heat setting for drying heavyweight
items, such as towels and work clothes.

•

Use a medium heat setting for drying medium-
weight items, such as sheets, underwear, 
permanent press clothes, and some knits.

•

Use a low heat setting for drying lightweight 
items such as lingerie, blouses, dresses, and
some knits.

NOTE: If you have any questions about drying
temperatures for various loads, refer to care label
directions.

Timed cycle(s)

Use a Timed drying cycle to complete drying if

some items are damp
after the  Automatic
cycle. A Timed drying
cycle is also useful for:

•

Heavyweight and bulky

items, such as bed

spreads and work 
clothes, and large loads 
that require a long drying

time. Set your dryer for
High heat.

•

Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and 
knits that require a short drying time. Set your 
dryer for Low heat. 

NOTE: Drying time and temperature will depend on
your dryer model.

Fluff Air cycle

(on some models)

Use the unheated Fluff Air cycle for items that 

require drying without 
heat. The chart on page

13 includes examples of 

items that require air 
drying.

NOTE: If your model 
does not have the Fluff 
Air cycle, use the Timed 
Drying cycle and the “Air
Only” Temperature 
setting, or line dry 
heat-sensitive items.

Heavy Dry feature

(on some models)

Use the Heavy Dry feature to dry large items or 

items that are thicker or 

heavier than a regular 
load (such as heavy 
cotton bath towels
or robes.) Set your 
Cycle Control knob to 
Heavy Dry and your 
Temperature selector to 
High heat.
