Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Automatic 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
shrinking or wrinkling.
■If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items in the Bulky
Items cycle, rearrange the load when the signal sounds. This
will aid in the drying process.

Cycle tips

■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart
(in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a
different dryness level, depending on your load by
pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE,
NORMAL or LESS.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
you must press the DRY TIME up or down buttons. Adjust
the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing
TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual,
Steam or Sanitize Cycles.
Status Lights
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature

the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:
■The damp dry point is reached in an Automatic Cycle.
■The dryer enters the cool down period in a Manual Cycle.

Damp

The Damp light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry
level. To be alerted when your load is approximately 80% dry, you
may use the Damp Dry Signal option. See “Damp Dry Signal” in
“Additional Features” section.
NOTE: The Damp light is not used with manual cycles.

Cool Down

The Cool Down light glows during the cool down part of the
cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling.

The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This
indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature.

Other indicator lights on the control panel show Cycle,
Temperature, Dryness Level, and cycle signal settings selected.
The time display will indicate the estimated or actual tim e
remaining in a cycle.
