How to Operate Your Dryer Polyester Knits and Permanent Press Drying Tips • DO NOT OVERLOAD- Garments being dried or dewrinkled should tumble freely. • REMOVE CLOTHES PROMPTLY-To help prevent wrinkling, remove clothes from the dryer promptly at the end of the drying cycles. • PLACE ON HANGERS- Permanent press and polyester knit garments look best if placed on hangers after drying. The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying Automatic Drying When using the Automatic cycles, the Automatic Dry Control system continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps the air cool. When laundry is dry enough (and the drum air warm enough), the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on. This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (depending on the fabric, load size and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when the heat is off) until it automatically turns off the dryer. Auto Regular. Use this cycle to dry heavy- and medium-weight cotton items. The load tumbles without heat during the last 5 minutes. This helps make the load easier to handle. Auto Permanent Press. Use this cycle to dry permanent press, knits and other synthetic items. The load tumbles without heat during the last 10 minutes. This helps keep wrinkles from setting in and makes the load easier to handle. Timed Drying. When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time period. The last 5 minutes of this cycle are without heat. This helps make the load easier to handle. Air Fluff cycle. The dryer does not heat when the Cycle Control knob is set in AIR FLUFF. This cycle can be used to fluff or air-dry bedding, plastic tablecloths, foam rubber pillows, stuffed toys, sneakers, etc. WARNING-Do not dry plastic or rubber items with heat. Use Air Fluff setting, or line dry. Failure to do so could result in fire or damaged items.
