Air Dry

Use the Air Dry temperature for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Dry.

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
Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon	10 - 20

*Reset time to complete drying, if needed.

When using Air Dry

„Check that coverings are securely stitched.

„Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.

„Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.

NOTE: Sensor Cycles are not available when using the Air Dry setting.

To use a Steam Cycle

„Press the POWER/CANCEL button.

„Rotate the dial to select either the Rapid Refresh or Custom Refresh cycles.

„Press the TIME ADJUST up or down buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Press TIME ADJUST, and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold TIME ADJUST, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time

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

„PressTIMED CYCLE TEMP until the desired temperature glows yellow.

NOTE: During the Custom Refresh Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temperature, the Wrinkle Prevent feature, and Signal On/Off. During the Rapid Refresh Cycle you can change the Wrinkle Prevent and Signal On/Off features. To change other settings, press START/PAUSE twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings. Select another cycle or option.

Stopping Your Dryer

Press POWER/CANCEL once or open the door.

Pausing or Restarting

To pause the dryer at any time

Open the door or press START/PAUSE once.

To restart the dryer

Close the door and press and hold START/PAUSE button until dryer starts.

NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted, if you close the door and press START/PAUSE within 60 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

Control Lock

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

To enable the Control Lock feature when dryer is running:

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control Lock light is on.

„When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the POWER/CANCEL button before activating the Control Lock feature.

To unlock:

NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Lock is on, the dryer can be stopped by pressing the POWER/CANCEL or START/PAUSE buttons, but cannot be restarted until the control is unlocked.

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.

„Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

„Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinking or wrinkling.

„If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items, rearrange the load when the signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process.

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 Sensor Cycles Dryness are preset when you choose a Sensor Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the SENSOR CYCLES DRYNESS button to select More Dry, Normal, or Less Dry.

„If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, you must press the TIME ADJUST up or down buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TIMED CYCLES TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a Sensor Cycles Dryness with Timed, Steam, or Sanitize Cycles.
