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

Press the SIGNALS button to set the desired signal setting.

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

How Automatic Cycles Work

EvenHeat™ 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 pass. 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. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

To use a Manual Cycle

Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.

NOTE: The More Time or Less Time feature can be used only with Manual Cycles.

Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature glows.

NOTE: Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple beep indicating that this option is not selectable. Also, a Dryness Level is not indicated.

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

Press the SIGNALS button to set the desired signal setting.

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

While a Manual Cycle is running, you can change the settings for Time, Temperature, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, and the cycle signals. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle.

StoppingYourDryer

To stop your dryer at any time

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice or open the door.

PausingorRestarting

To pause the dryer at any time

Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once.

To restart the dryer

Close the door and press (and hold) HOLD TO START button 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.

ControlLocked

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avert unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Locked feature to avert unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

To enable the Control Locked feature when dryer is running:

Press and hold the SIGNALS button for 3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control Locked status light is on.

When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control On button before activating the Control Locked feature.

To unlock:

Press and hold the SIGNALS button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off.

NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Locked is on, the dryer can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but can’t be restarted until the control is unlocked.

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.
