APOWER (ON/OFF) BUTTON

Press to turn the dryer ON. Press again to turn the dryer OFF. Pressing the POWER button during a cycle will cancel that cycle and any settings will be lost.

BCYCLE SELECTOR KNOB

The cycle selector knob is used to select the desired dry cycle by rotating the knob in either direction until the desired cycle LED is illuminated. Once the desired cycle has been selected, the standard presets for that cycle will show in the display. These settings can be adjusted using the cycle modifier or option buttons any time before starting the cycle (refer to pages 20 and 21).

CSTART/PAUSE BUTTON

Press this button to start the selected cycle. The dryer will display the estimated time (AUTO DRY) or set time (TIMED DRY) remaining and start tumbling. To pause the cycle at any time, open the dryer door or press START/PAUSE. To resume the cycle where it was stopped, press START/PAUSE again.

NOTE: If the dryer has been stopped for more than four minutes, the dryer will turn off automatically.

DOPTION BUTTONS

These buttons allow you to select cycle options. Some of the option buttons have secondary functions. The controls can be locked or unlocked by pressing and holding the CONTROL LOCK button for five seconds.

ECYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS

Use these buttons to adjust the settings for the selected cycle. The settings light up above the buttons to show the current selection (refer to page 24). The default temperature setting cannot be changed in AUTO DRY cycles. AUTO DRY cycles are modified using the DRY LEVEL button.

FTIME AND STATUS DISPLAY

The display shows the estimated time remaining for auto cycles and actual time for timed cycles. The status of the cycle is also displayed. The CHECK VENT indicator will illuminate if there is a serious restriction in the exhaust system (refer to page 23).

GSTEAM FUNCTIONS

The STEAM REFRESH cycle uses a swirling jet of steam to refresh clothes. The STATIC SHIELD and EASY IRON options are also available for most cycles (refer to page 26).

HSTEAM FEEDER

This drawer contains the reservoir for the water used by the dryer to create the steam used for the steam cycle and options. Fill the steam feeder with tap water to take advantage of the power of steam for fresher, static-free fabrics.

IMY CYCLE

If you have a special combination of settings that are used frequently, you can save these settings as a

MY CYCLE.

NOTE: To protect your fabrics, not all settings are allowed in all cycles.
