HOW TO USE

CYCLE OPTIONS AND SPECIAL FEATURES

Your dryer features several additional cycle options and special features to meet your individual needs. For all steam features, see the following pages.

WRINKLE GUARD

Selecting this option will tumble the clothes after the cycle ends for a few seconds every few minutes without heat.

This option is active for 150 minutes after the end of the cycle, or until the door is

opened. This helps prevent wrinkles if the clothes are not removed immediately after the cycle has finished.

CONTROL LOCK

Use this option to disable the controls. Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK

button for five seconds to activate or deactivate the CONTROL LOCK.

All controls will be disabled except for the POWER button. Once set, the CONTROL LOCK must be turned off before the controls can be used. After the dryer has shut off, the POWER button will allow the dryer to be turned on, but the controls will remain locked. When the CONTROL LOCK is set, the LED will illuminate and “CL” will display alternately with the cycle time.

MY CYCLE

MY CYCLE allows you to store a customized dry cycle for future use. It allows you to save favorite temperature, dry level, and other

options for a cycle, and then recall them at the touch of a button.

NOTE: You can only save the customized settings for one cycle at a time. Pressing and holding the MY CYCLE button will overwrite any previously saved cycle.

To save a MY CYCLE:

1Press the POWER button to turn on the dryer.

2Turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.

3Press the CYCLE MODIFIER button to change the desired setting.

4Press the CYCLE OPTION button to add the desired options.

5Press and hold the MY CYCLE button.

To recall a MY CYCLE:

1Press the POWER button to turn on the dryer.

2Press the MY CYCLE button. The stored settings will be displayed.

3Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.

NOTE: MY CYCLE can be adjusted the same as any other cycle. However, once any other button is pressed, the LED will turn off, indicating that the settings are no longer those of your saved cycle.

DAMP DRY SIGNAL

If you press the Damp Dry Signal, the dryer will emit a chime when the clothes are just short of completely dry, in case you want to remove them for ironing or hang drying.

DRUM LIGHT

Use the DRUM LIGHT button to turn on the light inside the drum during cycle operation.

NOTE: The drum light will also come on if the dryer door is opened; however, after the dryer has been off for more than four minutes, the drum light will be disabled until the POWER button is pressed to turn on the dryer.

RACK DRY CYCLE

Press and hold the Wrinkle Guard button for three seconds to access the Rack Dry cycle. The RACK DRY cycle is designed to carefully dry items that should not be

tumbled in the dryer, such as sweaters, stuffed animals, gym shoes, etc. Since items

are not tumbling, this cycle uses gentle heat to prevent overheating.

NOTE: Never use the drying rack with any cycles other than RACK DRY.

INSTALLING AND USING THE DRYING RACK

1With the dryer door open, slide the rack into the dryer drum.

2Make sure the front of the rack is seated properly in the recess on the lint filter housing at the front of the drum. The two rear legs of the rack should be resting on the rear wall just above the drum.

3Place items to be dried on the rack. Make sure that no parts of the article hang over the edges of the rack, as they might be contacted by the rotating drum, causing noise or damage to the drum

or articles.

NOTE: Be sure to remove the drying rack after using the RACK DRY cycle.
