Dryer Features

Time Display

When you select an Automatic cycle, the estimated time is displayed and the Estimated Time Remaining light is lit. The amount of estimated time remaining will be updated approximately 5 minutes into an automatic cycle. The Estimated Time Remaining light will turn off, and the display will show the actual time left in the cycle.

When you select a Timed cycle, the actual time is displayed, and the Estimated Time Remaining light is off.

Drying Status Lights

You can monitor the progress of your load with the Drying Status lights.

Sensing

Turns on until moisture is detected in the clothes. Turns off after 10 minutes if moisture is not detected. If the Rack Dry cycle is selected, the light goes directly to Drying & Cool Down.

Wet

Turns on until moisture is no longer detected in the clothes.

Damp

Turns on for 2 minutes after moisture is no longer detected in the clothes. At this point, the clothes are approximately 80% dry. You may want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to prevent over drying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing.

Drying & Cool Down

Turns on until the drying cycle and cool down are complete. Also turns on when a Timed Dry cycle is selected and moisture is not detected in the clothes.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting

Turns on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting portion of the cycle. The light flashes when the door is opened.

Additional Features

You can customize your cycles by selecting different features. If you change your mind, select a different feature.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.

Select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting pad. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting periodically tumbles the load without heat for up to 120 minutes. During the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, you can open the door to remove clothes, and press the START pad to resume the WRINKLE SHIELD™ cycle.

Cycle Signal

If the Cycle Signal is selected, the signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door.

Press the Cycle Signal pad to select a Softer or Louder signal or to turn the Cycle Signal off.

Drying Rack

Select this feature to dry items such as sweaters and pillows without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.

If your model does not have a drying rack, you may purchase one. For ordering information, please refer to the “Assistance or Service” page of this manual. You may also contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

To use the drying rack

Do not remove the lint screen.

1.Open the dryer door.

2.Slide drying rack over the bottom of the dryer door opening. Push down to secure rack on frame.

3.Place wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.

NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.

4.Select the RACK DRY cycle. Press the MORE TIME or LESS TIME arrows, if desired. Press the TEMP pad to select a temperature. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle.

5.Press the START pad.

NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use automatic cycles with the drying rack.
