the load is as dry as you want.

If the load is not as dry as you like,

use MORE DRY or VERY DRY the next

time.

the next time. Use DAMP DRY if you

plan to iron the clothes when you

remove them from the dryer.

Use a TIMED DRY setting for bed-

spreads, quilts, blankets and other

OFF then back to ON.
