End of Cycle Signal
The dryer sounds a signal to let you know when the cycle is finished. The signal is not adjustable and cannot be turned off. The signal is helpful when you are drying permanent press, synthetics, and other items that should be taken out as soon as the dryer stops.
WRINKLE GUARD _>I
WRINKLE GUARD ® I helps prevent wrinkles that form when clothes are not removed promptly at the end of a cycle. WRINKLE GUARD ® I periodically starts and stops the dryer, tumbling the load without heat for 30 minutes, unless you open the dryer door.
During WRINKLE GUARD _ I, the End of Cycle Signal will sound every 5 minutes unless the signal is turned off.
