YCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Automatic cycle(s)
Use an Automatic cycle to dry most loads.
Depending on your
model, the Automatic
cycle uses either the
electronic ACCUDRY
TM
system or the auto-
matic DRY-MISER
®
control that senses the
moisture in the 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.
• 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 a Timed cycle. Select a setting
closer to Very Dry the next time you dry a similar
load.
Loading suggestions

Drying time with an Automatic cycle varies accord-
ing to the type of fabric, size of load, and dryness
setting. Your model may not have all heat settings
listed. Some general guidelines are:
• 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 clothes, and some knits.
• Use a low or extra low heat setting for drying
lightweight items such as lingerie, blouses,
dresses, and some knits.
NOTE: If you have any questions about drying
temperatures for various loads, refer to care label
directions.
