12Operating Instructions
Cycle Options
Suitable options will automatically be indicated when the cycle is selected.
To add options, press the corresponding options buttons to illuminate the selections desired. To de- lete options, press the options buttons again and the indicator lights will turn off.
To protect your fabrics, not all options are available with every cycle. If an option is not appropriate for the cycle, it will not be displayed. Occasionally, two op- tions in the same cycle will conflict with each other, like delicate heat and sanitize. When this happens, the option selected first will cause the conflicting option to not be selectable.
NOTE
To change the options once the cycle has begun, press the pause button, make the new selections and press start again.
All options selected for the cycle, except sanitize and add steam (on select models), will be remem- bered and recalled each time that cycle is selected in the future. To prevent unintentional and accidental exposure of delicate material to sanitize heat or unexpected steam, the sanitize option and the add steam option (on select models) will not be remem- bered and must be reselected each time.
NOTE
The sanitize and add steam (on select models) options will be retained and recalled if either is selected and saved in the my favorite cycle.
DAMP ALERT
For loads that contain some items you plan to hang dry, flat dry or iron, add the damp alert option to any Auto Dry cycle. A signal will sound when the load has reached the damp dryness level to remind you to remove those items to hang dry, dry flat or iron dry. Open the door, remove those items, close the door and press the start button to continue dry- ing the remaining items.
Use this combination if you know it will be more than 45 minutes before you can remove the load.
ADD STEAM (steam models only)
The add steam option injects steam into the cloth- ing prior to cool down to reduce wrinkling, ironing and static cling.
WRINKLE RELEASE
will intermittently tumble for a total of 45 minutes. WRINKLE REL. will be displayed and a chime will
sound every 5 minutes to remind you to remove the dried load.
The extended tumble option can be selected with wrinkle release to add another 30 minutes of tumbling without heat.
DELICATE HEAT
Select this option to protect a load from exces- sive heat. The drying temperature will be gradually reduced as the load dries.
SANITIZE
Select this option for loads that may contain harmful bacteria. An extended drying time at high heat will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of bacteria between loads. Check fabric care labels to prevent damage caused by high heat.
NOTE
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of NSF P154 protocol for sanitization efficacy.

EXTENDED TUMBLE
Select the extended tumble option if the dried load might not be removed promptly at the end of
the cycle. The dry load will tumble continuously without heat for 30 minutes. EXT. TUMBLE will be
displayed and a chime will sound every 5 minutes to remind you to remove the dried load.
The wrinkle release option (on select models) can be selected with extended tumble to increase the amount of time the load will tumble without heat.
CHIME
Select this option to add a chime to the end of the cycle, to indicate when the load is damp in the damp alert option, and as a reminder to remove the load during extended tumble and wrinkle release (on select models). Press the chime button to select the volume level desired or to turn off the signal.
