■Adjust Dryness and/or Options.
NOTE: Dryness level selections can be made only while using Auto Cycles. Selecting More Dry, Normal or Less Dry automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying time and enhance fabric care. The amount of time that is displayed is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.
To use a Manual Cycle
■Point the dial to a Manual Cycle.
■Press TIMING Up or Down until the desired drying time is displayed. Tap TIMING Up or Down, and the time will change by

DryingandCycleTips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Auto Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■Follow care label directions when they are available.
■If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
■Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
■Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■Refer to the Auto or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■Drying temperature and Dryness are preset when you choose an Auto Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS button to select MORE DRY or LESS DRY.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, you must press TIMING Up or Down. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP ADJUST until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual Cycles.
StatusLights
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
