Additional Features
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 and Bulky cycles (on Steam model) do not offer an alternate temperature.
NOTE: Dryness Level selections cannot be used with the Timed or Steam Cycles.
