Dryer Features
Time Display
When you select an Automatic cycle, the estimated time is displayed in the Time Remaining window and the Estimated light is lit.
When you select a Timed cycle, the actual time is diplayed in the Time Remaining window.
Drying Status Lights
You can monitor the progress of your load with the Drying Status lights.
■Sensing
The Sensing light flashes at the start of the load when the electronic moisture sensor is searching for wetness.
■Wet
Once the moisture sensor detects wetness in the load, the Wet light flashes until the moisture sensor can no longer detect wetness in the clothes.
■Damp
The Damp light flashes after the moisture sensor no longer detects wetness in the clothes. At this point, the clothes are approximately 80% dry. You may want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to prevent overdrying or remove partially dry items to hang up to save on ironing. The Damp light will flash for approximately two minutes.
■Drying/Cool Down
The Drying/Cool Down light will continue to flash until Cool Down is completed. The Drying/Cool Down light will also flash if a Timed Cycle has been selected and the Sensing light does not detect any moisture in the clothes.
■WRINKLE SHIELD™
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting light is lit when it is selected. The light flashes after the Cool Down period is complete. The WRINKLE SHIELD setting light will continue to flash until the clothes are removed or the 120 minutes of the WRINKLE SHIELD system have expired.
Additional Features
You can customize your cycles by selecting different features. If you change your mind, select a different feature.
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD setting periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.
Select the WRINKLE SHIELD setting by pressing the On/Off pad on the Drying Status bar. The WRINKLE SHIELD setting periodically tumbles the load without heat for up to 120 minutes.
End of Cycle Signal
If the End of Cycle Signal is selected, the signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door.
Press the Bell symbol to select a Softer or Louder signal or to turn the End of Cycle Signal off.
Drying Rack
Select this feature to dry items such as tennis shoes and pillows without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.
To use the drying rack
1.Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.
2.Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.
NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
3.Select the Rack Dry cycle. Press the MORE TIME or LESS TIME arrows, if desired. Press the TIMED CYCLES SELECT pad to select a temperature. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle. Press the START pad.
NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use automatic cycles with the drying rack.
