WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.

Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature to get up to

120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.

Stop at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature or opening the dryer door.

For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is preset to “On.” The other Automatic Cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature setting. (For example, if you select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.)

NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period.

Temperature

Temperature settings are used with the Manual Cycles. Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature setting glows. Temperature settings cannot be used with the Automatic Cycles.

Air Only

Use the Air Only setting for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only.

Check to see that coverings are securely stitched.

Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.

Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.

NOTE: Automatic Cycles are not available when using the Air Only setting.

End of Cycle Signal

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Press and release the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL to adjust the sound level or turn off the signal.

NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will emit every

5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is finished.
