Manual Cycles

Use Manual Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a Manual Cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing the DRY TIME up or down buttons.

Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items such as bedspreads and work clothes.

Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry on a Low temperature setting.

Touch Up

Use this setting to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as clothes packed in a suitcase or wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.

Quick Dry

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time.

Additional Features

Drum Light

Select Drum Light to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is pressed again, the door is open and closed, or the door is left open for 20 minutes.

When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when DRUM LIGHT is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will remain on until the dryer door has been open for 20 minutes, the dryer door is closed or DRUM LIGHT is pressed again.

Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature

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

■Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature to get up to

120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.

■Stop at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature or opening the dryer door.

■For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is preset to “ON.” The other cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature setting. (For example, if you select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.)

NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period.

Damp Dry Cycle Signal

On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected to alert you that your clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing.
