Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE: The Temp feature can be used only with Timed Cycles and the Custom Refresh cycle.

NOTE: During the Custom Refresh cycle, you can change the settings for Timed Cycle Adjust and Temp Adjust. Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once to pause the cycle, or press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel a cycle.

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

NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Cycle Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with the Sensor Dry Cycles.

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

NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.

Status Lights

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

Stopping, Pausing or Restarting

To stop or pause your dryer at any time

Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel a cycle.

To restart the dryer

Close the door. Press START until dryer starts.

NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

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 when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed 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.

Cycle tips

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

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

Sensing

In a Sensor Dry Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet item is detected.

In a Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the beginning of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle.

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. The Cool Down and the Wrinkle Prevent setting indicators will illuminate, if selected.

In a Timed 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. Damp Dry Chime beeps, if selected. See “Options.”

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 the Wrinkle Prevent setting.

Wrinkle Prevent Setting

The Wrinkle Prevent setting light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on during the Wrinkle Prevent setting.

Indicator lights

Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options and Cycle Signal settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time remaining.
