DryingandCycleTips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■Follow care label directions when they are available.
■If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
■To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
■Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■Refer to the Automatic or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less or Damp.
NOTE: You cannot use the Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with the Automatic Cycles.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.
StatusLights
Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
Stopping,PausingorRestarting
To stop or pause your dryer at any time
Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once. Press PAUSE/ CANCEL twice to cancel a cycle.
To restart the dryer
Close the door. Press START until dryer starts.
NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off.
Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.
Sensing
■In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet item is detected.
■In a Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the beginning of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of an Automatic Cycle if a wet item is detected.
■In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting indicators illuminate, if selected.
■In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate.
