Stopping, Pausing, or Restarting

To use a Sensor Cycle

■Press POWER/CANCEL.

■Turn the knob to desired Sensor Cycle.

■Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.

The initial preset temperature is the prefered setting for drying loads of different garment types listed (see “Sensor Cycles”). If desired, one alternate temperature may be selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. The next time the same cycle is selected, the alternate temperature is remembered and displayed. The original (default) temperature may be reselected. The Delicate cycle does not offer an alternate temperature.

■Select the desired Options.

To make changes during a Sensor Cycle:

■Press START/PAUSE.

■Adjust Dryness Level.

NOTE: Dryness selections can be made only while using Sensor Cycles.

How the Sensi-Care™ Drying System Works

Moisture-sensing strips and temperature sensors inside the dryer drum monitor how fast the load is drying, how hot the air should be, and when clothes are dry. The system automatically stops the cycle to help save time and avoid overdrying.

To use a Timed Cycle

■Turn knob to desired Timed Cycle.

■Press the TIME ADJUST + (plus) or – (minus) until the desired drying time is displayed. Press the + (plus) or – (minus) and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold the + (plus) or – (minus) and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE: The Time Adjust feature can be used only with the Timed Cycles and the Custom Refresh cycle.

■Press TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE: The Temp Level feature can be used only with Timed Cycles and the Custom Refresh cycle.

NOTE: During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temp, the Wrinkle Prevent setting, and the End Signal.

5.(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more details, see “Options.”

6.(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, press END SIGNAL. A signal will sound to alert you when a cycle ends. For more details, see “End Signal.”

7.Press START/PAUSE. Be sure the door is closed.

■If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off.

■If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start, press POWER/CANCEL.

To stop or pause your dryer at any time

Open the door or press START/PAUSE. Press POWER/CANCEL to cancel a cycle.

To restart the dryer

Close the door. Press START/PAUSE until dryer starts.

NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed 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.

■If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

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

■Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

■Refer to the Sensor, or Timed 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 a Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp. The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting; however, you may select an alternate drying temperature by pressing TEMP LEVEL. Once selected, the new heat setting will be retained until reset to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate cycle does not allow an alternate temp to be selected.

■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press the Timed Adjust + (plus) or – (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp Level until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.
