CycleSelection
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.
Dryingtimevariesdependingonsizeanddampnessof
load, weight and fabric type. Room temperature and
humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or
gas pressure can also affect drying time.
AutomaticPermPress/DelicatesCycle
Thiscycleisbestforpermanentpress,knitanddelicate
items. Drying time is determined automatically at the
temperature selection of your choice.
• Medium heat is suggested for permanent press
items.
• Low heat is suggested for knit and delicate items.

EnergySavingTips
• Keep the lint screen clean and exhaust the dryer
correctly.
• Sortlaundryproperlyandselectpropertemperature
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.
• Avoidoverloading,addingwetitemstoapartiallydry
load,and overdrying.
• Dry one load after another to take advantage of a
warmdryer.
• Opening the door needlessly causes warm air to
escape, which prolongs drying time.
• If possible, use the dryer on low humidity days.
• Installthedryerinanareawheretheroomtemperature
