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 nished.

CONTROLLOCK

Use this option to disable the controls.

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK

button for ve 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 o before the controls can be used.

After the dryer has shut o, 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:

Press the POWER button to turn on the dryer.

Turn the cycle selector knob to select the desired cycle.

Press the CYCLE MODIFIER button to change the desired setting.

Press the CYCLE OPTION button to add the desired options.

Press and hold the MY CYCLE button.

To recall a MY CYCLE:

Press the POWER button to turn on the dryer.

Press the MY CYCLE button. The stored settings will

be displayed.

Press 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 o, 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.

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,

stued 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.

With the dryer door open, slide the rack into the

dryer drum.

Make sure the front of the rack is seated properly in

the recess on the lint lter 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.

Place 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.

INSTALLING AND USING THE DRYING RACK

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

o for more than four minutes, the drum light will be

disabled until the POWER button is pressed to turn on

the dryer.
