■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, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■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. The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting; however, you may select an alternate drying temperature by pressing TEMP LEVEL. Once selected, the new heat setting will be retained until reset to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not allow an alternate temp to be selected.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press TIME ADJUST + (plus) or
– (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP LEVEL 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.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Cycle if a wet item is detected.
■In a Sensor 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 Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry. Damp Dry signal 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 Plus setting.
Wrinkle Prevent
The Wrinkle Prevent setting light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on during the Wrinkle Prevent setting.
Steam
The steam light illuminates as water is being sprayed into the drum.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options, and Cycle Signal settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time remaining.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor, Steam or Timed Cycle Settings charts.
Sensor Cycles
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Preset 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. An alternate temperature is selectable for all cycles with the exception of the Delicate and Bulky by pressing the TEMP LEVEL button.
Bulky
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters, and cotton or polyester fiber filled pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp Dry signal sounds. This step will aid in the drying process.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get regular heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.
Wrinkle Control
Use this cycle to get low heat for drying
