Additional Features

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 Automatic 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.

Temperature

Temperature settings are used with the Manual Cycles. Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature setting glows. Temperature settings cannot be used with the Automatic Cycles.

Air Only

Use the Air Only setting for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only.

When using Air Only

Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.

Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.

Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.

NOTE: Automatic Cycles are not available when using the Air Only setting.

Signals

The Dry Only setting produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

The Damp & Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in a mixed load or large items in the “Bulky Items” cycle. When the signal sounds, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the drying process.

For the “Bulky Items” cycle, “Damp & Dry” is preset to ON.

Press and release the SIGNALS button to change the setting.

NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the Signals setting is on, an audible sound will be emitted every

5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is finished.
