Refer to the chart below and the chart on page

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 Timed Drying (heated) cycle
(High/Heavy Perm. Press setting)
Use your Timed Drying cycle, with a high heat
setting, to dry cottons, permanent press, and
some synthetic fabrics.
Using your Timed Drying (heated) cycle
(Low Delicate setting)

Temperature selector Start button
setting, to provide gentle drying for some
synthetics, knits, and delicate fabrics.
Using Heavy Dry
Use Heavy Dry and a high heat setting to dry
large items or items that are thicker or heavier
than regular load items (heavy cotton bath
sheets or robes).
NOTES: 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.
