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