AdditionalFeatures

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature

The WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature helps smooth out wrinkles that form when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles again for a brief period.

■Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature to get up to

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

■During the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, you may continue the option after opening and closing the dryer door by pushing START.

■Cancel at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button.

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 TEMP ADJUST until the desired temperature setting illuminates. Temperature modifiers cannot be used with the Auto Cycles.

Air Only

Use the Air Only modifier 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.
