This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary
from the model shown and may not have all of the cycles and
features described.
Cycle Control knob
Auto Sense Dry Cycle
Use your Auto Sense Dry cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has
a control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off
when the load reaches the selected dryness. Select the
temperature from the temperature selector based on the fabrics in
your load.
After drying a load in the Auto Sense Dry cycle, check the
dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a
timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the next time
you dry a similar load.
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Auto Sense Dry cycle. The type
of fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect
drying time. See "Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips."
Timed Dry cycle(s)
Select the correct Timed Dry setting and temperature for your
load.
Use a longer Timed Dry setting for heavyweight and bulky items,
such as bedspreads and work clothes, or large loads that require
a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if available, to
High Heat.
Use a shorter Timed Dry setting for lightweight items such as
lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based
on the fabrics in your load.
No Heat Fluff cycles
Use the No Heat Fluff cycle for items that require drying without
heat such as rubber, plastic or heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the
Cycle Control knob to No Heat Fluff. This chart shows examples
of items that can be dried using the No Heat Fluff cycle.
Type of Load

stuffed toys

*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying if needed.

Additional Features
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the features described.
Wrinkle Free setting
Select this cycle to help remove wrinkles from items such as
clothing packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in
the dryer too long. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to
Medium or Low Heat depending on the fabrics in your load.
Damp Dry
Select this cycle to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that
do not require an entire drying cycle. Use the Damp Dry cycle on
items such as jeans (to avoid stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make
pressing easier). If your model has a Temperature selector, choose
a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If your
End of Cycle signal is selectable, the signal will sound only if set to
On.
Drying Rack (optional)
The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry
(for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys).
You can order a drying rack by contacting the dealer from whom
you purchased your dryer.
To use the drying rack
1. Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer.
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2. Put the wet items on top of the drying rack. Leave space
between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the
door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the drying
rack.
3. Select cycle and temperature to match the fabrics in your
load. Items containing foam, rubber or plastic must be dried
on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following
table.
4. Press Start. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
NOTE: The drying rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do
not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
