the type of load being dried.

The cycle descriptions include temperature setting

Stopping and Restarting
You can stop your dryer any time during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to an Off
position.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when
the dryer is not in use.
To restart your dryer
1. Close the door.
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
3. Push the Start button.
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 desired, add a fabric softener sheet. 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 and 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 a lower setting
rather than a higher setting.
