*Estimated Time with Dryness Level (medium) setting. Time will vary depending on load type and load size.

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 MORE TIME or LESS TIME.

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.

Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry on a Low temperature setting.

Touch Up

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

Additional Features

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 help keep wrinkles from forming.

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.

Quick Dry

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