Cycle control knob with 3 temperature settings
Cycle control knob
If your dryer has a Cycle Control Knob with
3 temperature settings (air, low, high), refer to
the chart below and the chart on page 9 for
cycle information.
Loads tumble without heat during the last
few minutes of all heated cycles. This makes a
load easier to handle and helps keep wrinkles
from setting in.
Using your automatic (high heat) cycle
Use your automatic (high heat) cycle to dry
medium to heavyweight cotton and linen items
and some permanent press.
Start button
Using your automatic (low heat) cycle
Use your automatic (low heat) cycle to dry
knits, délicates and some synthetic items.
NOTE: To help reduce wrinkling, remove the
load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.
This is important for permanent press, knits
and synthetic fabrics. Do not overdry.
Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static cling,
and damage some fabrics.
