WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. Do not dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing). Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Understanding Dryer Cycles
The dryer offers two types of cycles:
Sensor Drying Cycles
Use sensor cycles for better fabric care and energy savings. The dryer senses moisture and air temperature, shutting off when the selected dryness level is reached. Time cannot be adjusted.
Timed Drying Cycles
Specify drying time with options of 15, 45, 60, and 90 minutes.
Note: Government energy certifications are based on Timed Dry Cycle and Maximum Drying Temperature. Default settings used were Normal Dryness and Wrinkle Shield off.
Tip: If loads are not dry enough, select Extra Power or increase temperature. If too dry, select a lower temperature.
