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 an
electronic or automatic
control that senses the
moisture in the load
and shuts off the dryer
when the selected dry-
ness 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 to a
heat setting that matches
the care label directions.

•

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

•

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 12 

includes examples of 
items that require air 
drying.

NOTE: If your model 
does not have the Fluff 
Air cycle, line dry heat-
sensitive items.
