MANUAL CYCLES

Use Manual Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a Manual Cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing plus (+) or minus (-). See “Starting Your Dryer.”

Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items such as bedspreads and work clothes.

Touch Up

Use this cycle to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.

Additional Features

Extra Care

Extra Care helps keep wrinkles from forming when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles again for a brief period. A signal will sound periodically when the Extra Care feature is on, if the Cycle End Tone option is selected.

Press Extra Care to get up to 2.5 hours of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.

Stop Extra Care at any time by pressing Extra Care or opening the dryer door.

For the Normal/Casual Automatic Cycle, Extra Care is preset to on. The other Automatic Cycles will retain the Extra Care setting. For example, if you select Extra Care in the Delicate cycle, Extra Care will be on the next time you select the Delicate cycle.

NOTE: If you do not select Extra Care, the dryer stops after cool down.

Cycle End Tone

If the Cycle End Tone option is selected, a signal will sound when a cycle is complete. If the Extra Care feature is selected, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door.

Press the CYCLE END TONE key to select a Soft or Loud signal or to turn the signal off.

Rapid Dry

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time.

Dry Rack

Use this cycle with the drying rack to dry clothes without tumbling. See “Drying Rack.”
