Loading
Load clothes loosely into the dryer. Do not pack the dryer. Allow
space for clothes to tumble freely. The following chart shows
examples of balanced loads that would allow for proper tumbling.
Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips
Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.
Drying tips
■
Follow care label directions when they are available.
■
If you use fabric softener sheets, use only those labeled
“dryer safe.” Follow package instructions.
■
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle tips
■
Use the Energy Preferred Setting with the RESOURCE
SAVER™ temperature setting to save the most energy while
drying average size loads of lightweight to medium weight
items.
■
Use the Very Dry setting with the RESOURCE SAVER™
temperature setting to save energy while drying larger loads
of medium weight to heavyweight items.
Temperature tips
■
Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as
towels and work clothes.
■
Use a Medium heat setting for drying medium weight items
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and
some knits.
■
Use a Low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as
lingerie, blouses, dresses, and some knits.
■
Use a no heat (air) setting for 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. If you are unsure
of the temperature to select for a load, select the lower setting
rather than the higher setting.
CYCLES
Your new RESOURCE SAVER™ dryer uses the Temperature
selector with the Cycle Control knob to design a drying cycle to
provide the shortest, most efficient drying time and best fabric
care for your load.
Cycle Control knob
ACCUDRY™ Automatic Drying Cycle
The automatic cycle uses the ACCUDRY™ electronic control
sensor that senses the moisture in your load and shuts off the
dryer when the selected dryness is reached. The Cycle Control
knob does not move until the load is almost dry. After the cool
down, the knob automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling
stops.
Your most frequently used Temperature settings, Normal and
High, when used with the automatic cycle, are enhanced with the
SENSEON™ drying system to provide the shortest drying time.
See “Temperature Settings.”
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Setting.
■
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
■
If the load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using the
Timed Drying cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the
next time you dry a similar load.
Towels
Select this setting to thoroughly dry extra heavy items, such as
mattress pads and quilts or a load of towels. Set the Temperature
selector to High heat.
Delicates
Use this setting to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the
Temperature selector at Low or Ex-Low heat.
NOTE:
Drying time varies with an automatic cycle. The type of
fabric, size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying
time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”
