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 Manual 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.
■Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
■Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinking or wrinkling.
■If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items in the Bulky Items cycle, rearrange the load when the signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process.
Cycle tips
■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■Refer to the Automatic or Manual 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 choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE, NORMAL or LESS.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, you must press the DRY TIME up or down buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual, Steam or Sanitize Cycles.

Steam Feature
The Steam light glows when the dryer is dispensing water during the Quick Refresh and Enhanced Touch Up cycles.

The Wet light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:
■The damp dry point is reached in an Automatic Cycle.
■The dryer enters the cool down period in a Manual Cycle.
Damp
The Damp light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry level. To be alerted when your load is approximately 80% dry, you may use the Damp Dry Signal option. See “Damp Dry Signal” in “Additional Features” section.
NOTE: The Damp light is not used with manual cycles.
Cool Down
The Cool Down light glows during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling.
