Changing the Automatic Cycle Settings to Increase Drying Time

If all your loads on all Automatic cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase the default dryness level.

Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:

01Factory preset dryness level.

02Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

03Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

To change the drying settings:

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (the power button is off) to adjust the default settings.

1.Before starting a cycle, press and hold the TEMP button for 6 seconds.

2.Press the TEMP button to select the dryness level shown in the time display: 01, 02, or 03.

3.Press START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting.
