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 and temperature tips
Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred Automatic
Setting ( ), if available on your dryer.
*
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.
