Drying and Cycle Tips
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.
Drying tips
Follow care label directions when they are available.
If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is
especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause
overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
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 dryness level are preset when you choose a Sensor Dry
Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing
DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp. The initial preset
temperature is the preferred setting; however, you may select an alternate drying
temperature by pressing TEMP LEVEL. Once selected, the new heat setting will be
retained until reset to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate cycle does not allow
an alternate temp to be selected.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press TIME ADJUST + (plus) or
– (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP LEVEL until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE:
You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.
