To use a Sensor Dry Cycle

Select a Sensor Dry Cycle. Sensor Dry Cycles are preset to Normal Cycle.

Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.

To make changes to the Dryness Level and/or Options during a Sensor Dry Cycle:

Press PAUSE/CANCEL once.

Adjust Dryness Level and/or Options.

NOTE: Dryness Level selections can be made only while using Sensor Dry Cycles. Selecting More, Normal or Less automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.

Sensor Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care. The amount of time that is displayed is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.

To use a Timed Dry Cycle

Select a Timed Dry Cycle.

Press the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Tap the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE: The Timed Dry Cycle Adjust feature can be used only with Timed Dry Cycles.

Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor Dry Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time, which is determined by your dryer automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Dry Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.

Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.

Drying tips

Follow care label directions when they are available.

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
