Setting the Drying Temperature
Select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load,
select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.
Temperature Tips
If your dryer has multiple heat settings:
■A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight
items such as towels and work clothes.
■A Medium heat setting may be used for drying medium-
weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,
underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
■A Low heat setting may be used for drying light-weight
items such as lingerie.
■Use a No heat (Fluff Air/Air Dry/No Heat Fluff) setting for
foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics.
■Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
