CycleSelector(Timer) Control

ACCUDRY™ System

ACCUDRYcycles may be used to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the electronic ACCUDRYsystem. The control senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.

The cycle control knob does not move until the load is almost dry. After the Cool Down, the knob automatically turns to an Off area and tumbling stops.

Most loads may be dried using the Energy Preferred setting. At the end of the cycle, check the dryness of the load.

If the load is drier than you like, you may select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

If a load is not as dry as you like, you may complete drying using a Timed cycle. You may select a setting closer to Very Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

NOTE: Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting

Optional

You may set the WRINKLE SHIELD™ selector knob to ON. Dryer will periodically start and stop, tumbling the load without heat for up to 90 minutes after the cycle ends.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Plus Setting

You may choose 30 or 90 minutes of periodic unheated tumbling after the cycle ends.

NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle signal is also selected.

TIMED DRYING

These cycles may be used to complete drying if items are still damp after the automatic cycle.

Timed Drying is also useful for:

Heavyweight or bulky items that require a longer drying time.

Lightweight items that require a short drying time.

TemperatureControl

You may select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.

Temperature Tips

If your dryer has multiple heat settings:

A high heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

A low to medium heat setting may be used for drying medium- weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

An extra-low heat setting may be used for drying lightweight items such as lingerie.

You may use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic or heat- sensitive fabrics.

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions.

Endof CycleSignalControl

The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On some models the End of Cycle Signal is fixed. On others the End of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound only if set to On.

If the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

DryingRack

(Optionalonsome models)

The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, pillows, stuffed toys).

For information on ordering, please refer to the service numbers located on the front page of the dryer user instructions or contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.
