Cycle tips

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

Refer to the Sensor Dry Cycles or Timed Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness Level and choosing More or Less.

NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons and you cannot modify temperature with the Sensor Dry cycles.

If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Dry Cycle, press the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust up or down arrow buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Dry Cycle by pressing TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot use the Dryness Level with Timed Dry Cycles.

Status Lights

Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.

Wet

The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Dry Cycle if a wet item is detected.

In a Sensor Dry Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and WRINKLE PREVENT indicators illuminate, if selected.

In a Timed Dry Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate.

Damp

The Damp light illuminates in a Sensor Dry Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry.

Cool Down

The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.

Dry

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

WRINKLE PREVENT.

WRINKLE PREVENT

The WRINKLE PREVENT light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on with Dry.

Clean Lint Screen

The Clean Lint Screen light is a reminder to check to see whether the lint screen needs to be cleaned. The Clean Lint Screen light will come on when the machine is turned on. The light will flash until the cycle is started or the door is opened, and then the light will turn off.

Indicator lights

Other indicator lights show Cycle, Options and Modifier settings selected.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See the Sensor Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart or the Timed Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart.

Sensor Dry Cycles

Sensor Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Dry Cycles Preset 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.

Cotton/Towels or Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as cotton towels or bedspreads.

Jeans

Use this cycle to get regular heat for drying denims.

Normal

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as sturdy work clothes and sheets.

Wrinkle Control

Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press blends.

Delicate

Use this cycle to get extra-low heat for drying synthetic fabrics, washable knit fabrics and no- iron finishes.
