Turn cycle selector clockwise to desired cycle and setting.
Each cycle ends with a cool down period. The heat
automatically turns off and the load continues to tumble
during the cool down period. This reduces wrinkling and
makes items easier to handle during unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load
and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also
affect drying time.
AUTO DRY NORMAL
This cycle is best for towels and heavy duty items. Drying
time is determined automatically at the temperature
selection of your choice.
Whites high heat • is suggested for towels and heavy
duty items.
AUTO DRY CASUAL
This cycle is best for permanent press. Drying time is
determined automatically at the temperature selection of
your choice.
Casual-medium heat • is suggested for permanent press
items.
AUTO DRY DELICATES
This cycle is best for knit and delicate items. Drying time is
determined automatically at the temperature selection of
your choice.
Delicates-low heat • is suggested for knit and delicate
items.
Occasionally a load may seem too damp or overdried at the
end of the cycle. To increase drying time for similar loads
in the future, set the cycle selector on the indicator line to
the left of the normal, casual, or delicates setting. For
loads requiring less drying time, set the cycle selector on the
indicator line to the right.

• can be used independently for up to 15
minutes of unheated tumbling to help remove wrinkles
from items that are already dry. Turn selector knob to

temperature controls.
AIR FLUFF NO HEAT
This cycle provides up to 20 minutes of tumbling without
heat. Use air fl uff no heat to dry items containing feathers
or down, foam rubber, plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-
like materials, to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets, or to

- FIRE HAZARD - To avoid fi re hazard, do not
use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rub-
ber, plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use
the Timed Dry cycle and the Air Fluff/No Heat setting.
Always follow directions on fabric care labels.
Select the temperature setting most suitable for each load. The
whites-high heat, casual-medium heat, and delicates-low
heat temperature settings may be used with any cycle setting.
The air fl uff no heat setting can be used only in the Timed
Dry cycle. Air fl uff no heat setting tumbles the load without
heat. Use air fl uff to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets, or
to dust draperies.
Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer correctly. •
Sort laundry properly and select proper temperature and •
cycle settings. Choose an automatic dry cycle whenever
possible for accurate drying time.
Dry only full loads. Single items and small loads usually take
•
longer to dry.
Avoid overloading, adding wet items to a partially dry load,
•
and overdrying.
Dry one load after another to take advantage of a warm dryer.
•
Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to escape, •
which prolongs drying time.
If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.
•
Install the dryer in an area where the room temperature is •
at least 45°F (7°C).
