Status Indicator

You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.

Sensing Light

When a cycle is first turned on, the Sensing light glows until a wet item is detected.

„In a Sensor Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected within 10 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the dryer will shut down.

„In a Timed Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 10 minutes, the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle continues.

Timed Cycle

The Timed Cycle and Sensing light indicators will glow during the drying cycle of a timed cycle. After the drying time is complete, the dryer will go through a Cool Down cycle; during this time, the Cool Down indicator will glow. After Cool Down completes,

„If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected, the Dry section of the indicator will glow. The Wrinkle Prevent indicator will flash and the load will intermittently tumble for 120 minutes.

„If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is not selected, the clothing will stop tumbling and the Dry section of the indicator will glow.

Wet

The Wet status light is illuminated whenever a wet item is detected in the dryer during a sensor cycle.

The Wet light will remain on until:

„The damp dry point is reached in a Sensor Cycle.

„The dryer enters the cool down period in a Timed Cycle.

Damp

When the Damp status light glows, the load is about 80% dry. To be alerted when your load is approximately 80% dry, you may use the Damp Dry Signal option. See “Damp Dry Signal” in the “Optional Features” section.

NOTE: The Damp indicator does not glow during timed cycles.

Cool Down

The Cool Down light glows during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling.

Dry

The Dry light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during the WRINKLE PREVENT feature.

Wrinkle Prevent Feature

The Wrinkle Prevent indicator light blinks when the Wrinkle Prevent option is selected and that part of the cycle is occurring. This cycle lasts for 120 minutes.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor Preset or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart.

Cycle Control knob

Sensor Cycles

Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.

Sanitize

Use this cycle for items such as towels, bedding, children’s clothing or other items needing to be sanitized. This cycle is designed to eliminate 99.9% of 3 common infectious bacteria. This cycle should be run to completion to ensure sanitization. For best results, do not interrupt cycle.

Sanitization Performance of

Residential clothes Dryers

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get High heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cotton towels or jeans.

Normal

Use this cycle to get Regular heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, permanent press blends, work clothes, or sheets.

Bulky Items

Use this cycle to get Regular heat for drying large items that require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters and pillows. Rearrange the load halfway through the dryer cycle; this will aid the drying process.

Delicate

Use this cycle to get Medium heat to gently dry items such as washable knit fabrics.

Super Delicate

Use this cycle to get Extra-Low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie.
