Adjust Dryness.

NOTE: Dryness selections can be made only while using Automatic Cycles.

How the AccelerCare™ Drying System Works

Moisture-sensing strips and temperature sensors inside the dryer drum monitor how fast the load is drying, how hot the air should be, and when clothes are dry. The system automatically stops the cycle to help save time and avoid overdrying.

To use a Timed Cycle

Turn knob to desired Timed Cycle.

Press the TIME ADJUST up or down arrows until the desired drying time is displayed. Press the up or down arrows and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold the up or down arrows and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE: The Time Adjust features can be used only with Timed Cycles.

Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE: The Temp feature can be used only with Timed Cycles.

NOTE: During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temp, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting and the End of Cycle Signal.

5.(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more details, see “Options.”

6.(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. A signal will sound to alert you when a cycle ends. For more details, see “End of Cycle Signal.”

7.Press START. Be sure the door is closed.

Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

DryingandCycleTips

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 Timed 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.

To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

Refer to the Automatic or Timed 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 select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp.

NOTE: You cannot use the Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with the Automatic Cycles.

If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.

StatusLights

Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.

Sensing

In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet item is detected.

In a Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the beginning of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle.

Wet

The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of an Automatic Cycle if a wet item is detected.

In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting indicators illuminate, if selected.

In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate.
