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.

Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic, permanent press or no-iron items such as, sheets, shirts or dresses. Set temperature selector, if available, to Medium.

Delicates

Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the temperature selector, if available, to Low or Extra Low Heat.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature

When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without heat to avoid wrinkles. A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE SHIELD feature is on, if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

Your model may vary from the model shown.

Your dryer may have one of the following features:
