Status Lights

Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor or Timed Cycle Settings charts.

Sensor Cycles

Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. An alternate temperature is selectable for all cycles with the exception of the Delicate by pressing the TEMP LEVEL button.

Use this cycle to get regular heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans.

Normal

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.

Wrinkle Control

Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business clothes, and permanent press blends.

Delicate

Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, blouses, or washable knit fabrics.
