6. (OPTIONAL) Your dryer may have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is helpful when
drying items that should be removed from the dryer as soon as it stops.
On some models, the volume of the End of Cycle signal can be adjusted. Turn the
selector to the desired volume.
On other models, the End of Cycle signal is part of the Start button and is selectable.
Turn the START button to ON or OFF. The signal will sound only if the selector is set
to On.
7. Select the desired Option. See "Cycles."
8. If desired, add fabric softener sheet. Follow instructions on the package.
9. Push the START button.
How Automatic Drying Works
When you are using the Auto Moisture Sensing Cycle, the dryness of the load is determined
by two metal strips (sensors) located on the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help "feel" the
amount of moisture left in the clothes as they tumble. When moisture is left in the clothes, the
Cycle Control knob will not advance. As clothes begin to dry, the amount of water left in the
clothes decreases, and the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle. When the
selected dryness level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.
Stopping and Restarting
You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.
To stop your dryer
Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
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.
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary from the model shown and
may not have all of the cycles and features described.

Auto Sense Dry Cycle
Use your Auto Sense Dry cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a control that senses the
moisture level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Select the
temperature from the temperature selector based on the fabrics in your load.
After drying a load in the Auto Sense Dry cycle, check the dryness.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a
similar load.
If a 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.
NOTE: Drying time varies with an Auto Sense Dry cycle. The type of fabric, the size of the
load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See "Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips."
Timed Dry cycle(s)
Select the correct Timed Dry setting and temperature for your load.
Use a longer Timed Dry setting for heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and
work clothes, or large loads that require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if
available, to High Heat.
Use a shorter Timed Dry setting for lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the
temperature selector, if available, based on the fabrics in your load.
No Heat Fluff cycles
Use the No Heat Fluff cycle for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic
or heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to No Heat Fluff. This chart shows
examples of items that can be dried using the No Heat Fluff cycle.
Type of Load
Foam rubber—pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys
Plastic—Shower curtains, tablecloths
Rubber-backed rugs

*(Minutes). Reset cycle to complete drying if needed.
When using No Heat Fluff
