To avoid fire hazard, do not use
heat to dry items containing feathers or
down, foam rubber, plastics, or similarly
textured, rubber-like materials. Use Cool
Down (no heat) setting only.
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 for 5-10 minutes.
This reduces wrinkling and makes items easier
to handle during unloading.
Drying time varies depending on size and
dampness of load, weight and fabric type.
Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage can also
affect drying time.

This cycle provides up to 100 minutes of
drying time at high heat for regular and
permanent press items.
When drying permanent press items, turn
the cycle selector to 40-50 minutes. This is
the average time needed to dry most loads
of permanent press items.

This cycle is best for regular and permanent
press items that can be tumble dried at high
heat. Drying time is determined automatically.
• For items requiring more drying time, set
cycle selector on MORE DRY MORE DRY MORE DRY MORE DRY MORE DRY.
• For items requiring less drying time, set
cycle selector on LESS DRY LESS DRY LESS DRY LESS DRY LESS DRY.
When the items are dry, the heat automatically
turns off and the load is tumbled for
approximately 10 minutes without heat.
Energy Saving Tips Energy Saving Tips Energy Saving Tips Energy Saving Tips Energy Saving Tips
• 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).
