Additional Features

Extra Care Feature

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Extra Care feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to help reduce wrinkling.

Press the Extra Care 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 Extra Care feature or opening the dryer door.

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

NOTE: If you do not select the Extra Care feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period.

Manual Cycles

Use Manual Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a Manual Cycle is selected, the ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing the Manual Dry Time (- or +) buttons.

Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes.

Touchup

Use this setting to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.

Rapid Dry

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time.
