Timed Cycles

Use Timed Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. 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 the TIME ADJUST up or down buttons.

Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after a Sensor 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.

Steam Cycles

In these cycles, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble at Regular heat for the duration of the cycle. The Steam cycles include Rapid Refresh and Custom Refresh. The heat setting and cycle time are not adjustable for the Rapid Refresh cycle, but can be adjusted for the Custom Refresh cycle.

NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without.

Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes.

Rapid Refresh

This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic garments.

Custom Refresh

This cycle uses water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from items such as clothes packed in a suitcase or wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.
