underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
Use the No Heat setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-

Automatic cycles give the best drying
in the shortest time. Drying time varies
based on fabric type, load size, and
dryness setting.
Select a drying temperature based on
the fabrics in your load. If you are unsure
of the temperature to select for a load,
select the lower setting rather than the
higher setting.
