1.Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
2.Place laundry into dryer and shut door.

4.Turn the knob to the selected cycle. The preset settings for Automatic Cycles or Timed Cycles will illuminate. The estimated (automatic cycle) or actual (timed) cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.
NOTE: A default time is displayed when an automatic cycle is selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process, the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.
To use an Automatic Cycle
■Press POWER.
■Turn the knob to desired Automatic Cycle.
■Select DRYNESS to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.
The default dryness setting is Normal when an Automatic Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Less or Damp. Selecting More, Less or Damp automatically adjusts the sensed time needed. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.
■Select the desired Options.
To make changes during an Automatic Cycle:
■Press PAUSE/CANCEL.
■Adjust Dryness.
NOTE: Dryness selections can be made only while using Automatic Cycles.
