Timed Cycles

Use Timed Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. (Temperatures are not selectable with Air Fluff.) When a Timed 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 More Time or Less Time. See “Changing Cycles, Options, and Modifiers.”

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.

Quick Dry

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

Touch Up

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

Air Fluff

Rotate the dial to Air Fluff to use this cycle for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. This table shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Fluff. The temperature setting is not adjustable with this cycle.

Type of Load	Time*
	(Minutes)
Foam rubber - pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys	20 - 30
Plastic - Shower curtains, tablecloths	20 - 30
Rubber-backed rugs	40 - 50

*Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using Air Fluff

Options

You can customize your cycles by selecting options. Not all Options are available with all cycles. Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate when pressed and an error sound will be heard.

Wrinkle Prevent

Wrinkle Prevent helps smooth out wrinkles that form when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles again for a brief period.

■Press WRINKLE PREVENT to get up to 2 hours of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.

■Stop Wrinkle Prevent at any time by pressing WRINKLE PREVENT or opening the dryer door.

■For the Casual cycle, Wrinkle Prevent is preset to ON. The other cycles will retain the Wrinkle Prevent setting. For example, if you select Wrinkle Prevent in the Normal cycle, Wrinkle Prevent will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.

NOTE: If you do not select Wrinkle Prevent, the dryer stops after cool down.

Damp Dry Signal

Select the Damp Dry Signal 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.

NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic Cycles.

Button Sounds

You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press BUTTON SOUNDS until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly when the Button Sounds volume is set to Off.

Drum Light

Press 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 5 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 5 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.
