Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted  

for each cycle. 

Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more than 

1/4 full. 

Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full. 

Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full.  

Do not overload. Items need to tumble freely.

Cycle, the time appears in  

the display. Use + and – to 

increase or decrease the time  

in 1-minute increments. Touch 

and hold to change the time  

in 5-minute increments. 
The maximum dry time is 100 minutes.

Selecting the Drying Temperature
A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such 

as towels and work clothes.
A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying  

medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,  

underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
Use a no heat (air only) setting for foam, 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.
