Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after a Sensor Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads, and work clothes. Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry on a low temperature setting. Timed Dry can also be used with the drying rack.

Rapid Dry

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

Freshen Up

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

Modifiers

Sensor Cycle Modifiers

Use the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select dryness levels for the Sensor Cycles. Press DRYNESS LEVEL until the desired Dryness setting illuminates.

The preset dryness setting is Normal when a Sensor Cycle is selected. You can select a different Dryness Level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp. Selecting More, Normal, Less, or Damp automatically adjusts the Dryness Level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a Dryness Level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting for drying clothes; however, if desired, one alternate temperature may be selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. Once the alternate temperature has been selected, the next time the same cycle is selected, the alternate temperature is remembered and displayed. The original (default) temperature may be reselected. The Delicate cycle does not offer an alternate temperature.

NOTE: Dryness Level selections cannot be used with the Timed Cycle.

Options

You can customize your cycles by selecting options.

Drum Light

On some models, select Drum Light to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.

When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when DRUM LIGHT is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will remain on until the dryer door has been open for

5 minutes, the dryer door is closed, or DRUM LIGHT is pressed again. Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.

Wrinkle Prevent Setting

The Wrinkle Prevent setting 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.
