Timed Dry

To manually select the drying time for any load, turn the knob to a numbered setting. Drying times from 15 to 90 minutes are available in 15-minute increments. You will not be able to select a cycle or dryness level. Timed Dry is recommended when using the No Heat option.

Cycle Settings

Appropriate drying temperature, dryness level and options will automatically be indicated for each cycle. The TEMP, DRYNESS and OPTIONS settings can be changed before the cycle is started. Those adjustments will automatically be remembered each time that cycle is selected. If a temperature, dryness level or option is not recommended for a cycle, the indicator will not light.

If changes are attempted after the cycle starts, the status lights will blink, the signal will beep and “Err” will be displayed. To change a setting after the cycle starts, press Pause/Cancel once, adjust the setting and press START to resume the cycle. See

Drying Temperature

For best results, follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried. To change the drying temperature, press TEMP to scroll to the desired heat. To protect your wardrobe, not all temperatures are available with every cycle.

High heat is recommended for sturdy fabrics.

Medium High heat is recommended for most cotton fabrics.

Medium heat is recommended for wrinkle free, permanent press and lightweight fabrics.

Low heat is recommended for delicate fabrics.

No Heat should only be used with a Timed Dry setting to dry items containing feathers, down, foam rubber, plastics or rubber-like materials; to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets; or to dust draperies.

Note: Using No Heat in any Auto Dry cycle will result in long drying times and /or wet loads at the end of the cycle.

Dryness Level

To change the dryness level, press DRYNESS until the desired selection is made. Select Normal for most loads.

Occasionally a load may seem too damp or over- dried at the end of the cycle. To increase drying time for similar loads in the future, select More Dry. For loads requiring less drying time, select Less Dry.

Select Damp Dry for items you wish to partially dry before hanging or ironing.

Note: To prevent over-drying, not every dryness level is available with every cycle.

To select an option, press OPTIONS until the indicator for the desired option flashes, then press Select. If an option is not available for a cycle, the indicator will not light. Follow the same steps to delete an option.

The Cycle Signal will sound at the end of the cycle and periodically during Press Saver.

Select Shrink Guard to lower the initial drying temperature to protect fabrics from overdrying.

Select Press Saver if the dried load might not be removed promptly at the end of the cycle. The dry load will continue to tumbling without heat for 30 minutes to help reduce wrinkling. When the Cycle Signal is selected, a beep will be heard periodically. The load may be removed any time during Press Saver.
