Drying and Cycle Tips

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.

Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or LESS.

If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, you must press plus (+) or minus (-) buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual Cycles.

StatusDisplay

Messages on the status display help you to follow the progress of your dryer.

Wet

WET is displayed at the beginning of the Automatic or Manual Cycle if a wet item is detected.

In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after

5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down. COOL DOWN will be displayed, along with EXTRA CARE, if selected.

In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected, the dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, but WET will not be displayed.

Damp

DAMP is displayed if the load has reached the damp dry level.

NOTE: DAMP will not be displayed with Manual Cycles.

Cool Down

COOL DOWN is displayed during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.

Cycle Complete

CYCLE COMPLETE is displayed when a drying cycle is finished. If the Extra Care feature is selected, EXTRA CARE will also be displayed.

The Cycle Complete display turns off 1 hour after the end of a drying cycle, when PAUSE/CANCEL is pressed, or when the door is opened. If the Extra Care feature is selected, the Cycle Complete display will remain on 1 hour after the Extra Care cycle stops.

Extra Care

EXTRA CARE is displayed when this option is selected. This display stays on with the Cycle Complete display. See “Addtional Features.”
