HOW TO USE

CYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS

Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You may also customize these settings using the cycle modifier buttons.

AUTO DRY cycles are designed to properly care for specific fabrics and loads. As a result, not all settings are available for each cycle selection (refer to pages 20 and 21).

TIMED DRY cycles have default settings, but you may also customize the temperature setting and add options.

Settings are not limited in most timed dry cycles. Use care when setting options and modifiers for these cycles to prevent damage to your clothing.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every dry level, temperature, or option is available with every cycle (refer to pages 20 and 21).

ABCD

ATEMP CONTROL

Adjusts the temperature setting from LOW to HIGH. This allows precise care of your fabrics and garments. Press the TEMP CONTROL button repeatedly to scroll through available settings. Temperature setting is not adjustable in AUTO DRY cycles.

BDRY LEVEL

Sets the level of dryness for the selected AUTO DRY cycle. Press the DRY LEVEL button repeatedly to scroll through available settings. Use this button to adjust the dryness of the articles in the load to your preference.

This option is not available with TIMED DRY cycles.

The dryer will automatically adjust the cycle time. Selecting EXTRA DRY or MORE DRY will increase the cycle time and dry level, while LESS DRY or DAMP DRY will decrease the cycle time and dry level.

Use a LESS DRY or DAMP DRY setting for items that you wish to iron or hang for final drying.

CTIMED DRY

Allows you to manually select the drying time in

10-minute increments. Use this cycle for small loads or to remove wrinkles. Use the MORE TIME/LESS TIME buttons to increase or decrease the selected drying time in 1-minute increments. Press and hold the MORE TIME or LESS TIME buttons to rapidly change the time.

DCHIME

Adjusts the volume of the chime or turns off the chime. Press the button repeatedly until the desired volume setting is illuminated.
