Loading
Properly loading your dryer can lower your utility bill and prolong
the life of your garments.
Loading suggestions
■ Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by
their weight.
■ Do not overload the dryer. This causes wrinkling and uneven
drying.
Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing
the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the
display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the
cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to
handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down
depends on the load size and dryness level.
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.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased
shrinkage or wrinkling.
■ If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items in the “Bulky
Items” cycle, rearrange the load halfway through the dryer
cycle. This will aid in the drying process.
