Additional Features

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the features described.

Select this setting to thoroughly dry extra heavy items such as mattress pads and quilts or a load of towels. Set the temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature

When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrink les can form.
