To use an Automatic Cycle

NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.

■Press the POWER button.

■Rotate the dial to select an Automatic Cycle.

■Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load to be. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected Dryness Level.

NOTE: Most loads may be dried using Normal, which is shown in boldface type on your control panel. Normal is the energy preferred dryness level and will use the least energy.

The default dryness setting is Normal when an Auto Dry Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal or Less. Selecting More, Normal or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

The Dryness Level can be changed only with Automatic Cycles.

NOTE: The More/Less Dry settings are not available on the Sanitize cycle.

■Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button if this option is desired.

■Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle signal volume to desired level.

■Press the DAMP DRY CYCLE SIGNAL button to set damp dry signal volume to desired level.

■Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about 1 second).

Once an Automatic cycle has started, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature and cycle signals can be adjusted. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle and Dryness Level.

NOTE: Time and Temperature are not adjustable for Automatic Cycles. Pressing the DRY TIME or TEMPERATURE buttons will cause a triple beep, indicating that the time cannot be changed.

How Automatic Cycles Work

The AccelerCare™ function improves drying performance with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. The AccelerCare™ feature takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

To use a Manual Cycle

■Press POWER.

■Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

■Press the DRY TIME up or down buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Press DRY TIME, and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold DRY TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.

The Dry Time feature can be used only with Manual Cycles and the Enhanced Touch Up Cycle.

■Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature glows green.

Temperature settings can be changed only with Manual Cycles.

■Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button if this option is desired.

■Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle signal volume to desired level.

■Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about 1 second).

NOTE: Dryness Level is not adjustable for Manual, Steam or Sanitize Cycles. Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple beep indicating that this option is not selectable.

While a Manual Cycle is running, you cannot change the cycle until you clear the settings. You can change the settings for Time, Temperature, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature and the cycle signals. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle.

To use a Steam Cycle

■Press the POWER button.

■Rotate the dial to select either the Enhanced Touch Up or Quick Refresh cycles.

NOTE: The More Time and Less Time buttons can be used only with Manual Cycles and the Enhanced Touch Up Cycle.

■Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature glows green.
