The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle helps
provide the special care that perma­
nent press and synthetic fabrics
need ...a period of heated drying
followed by a 10 minute cool down.
Thechartonpage4 suggests time
and temperature settings for different
kinds of loads.
The EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and
LIGHT cycles describe the loads
they are designed to dry. The chart
on page 4 tells what is meant by
EX HEAVY, HEAVY, MEDIUM and LIGHT
loads.
At each setting, the dryer will run
about long enough to dry the load
described by the setting. Example:
The HEAVY Cycle is designed to be
long enough to dry a load of heavy
fabrics (towels, jeans, corduroys, etc.)
when the Temperature Selector is set
on PERM’T PRESS/HEAVY HIGH.

Cool down times
In all cycles, the heat shuts off
before the dryer stops tumbling. This
cool down time helps:
• keep wrinkles from setting in.
• make handling the hot load items
easier.
The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle has
10 minutes of cool down time at the
end of the cycle.
All other cycles have 5 minutes of
cooldown time.
Overdrying can cause
shrinkage, static ciing and
damage to some fabrics.
To heip reduce wrinkling, take
the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is very
important for permanent press,
knits and synthetic fabrics.
