QUICK START GUIDE
NOTE: This Use and Care Guide covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance. The following is a guide to using your dryer.
Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
START
1. Clean lint screen before each load.
2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.

5.Select WRINKLE PREVENT, if desired. See “Additional Features.”
6.Select CYCLE SIGNAL to turn off, if desired. See “Additional Features.”
7.Press and Hold START to start.
SENSOR DRY CYCLES
Sensor Dry Cycles automatically match the cycle setting to the type of load, and adjust drying time for optimal performance. See the “Cycles Sensor Dry Preset Settings Chart.”
To make changes during a Sensor Dry Cycle:
1.Press PAUSE/CANCEL once.
2.Select DRYNESS LEVEL and/or OPTION.
NOTE: Dryness Level selections can be made only while using Sensor Dry Cycles. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.
3. Press and Hold START.
TIMED DRY CYCLES
Use a Timed Dry cycle to set a drying time and temperature.
1.Press POWER.
2.Rotate the dial to select a Timed Dry Cycle.
3. Press the TIME ADJUST up or down until the desired drying time is displayed.
4.Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature illuminates.
5.Press and Hold START.
To make changes during a Timed Dry Cycle:
1.Press PAUSE/CANCEL once.
2.Adjust the Time and/or Options.
3. Press and Hold START.
TIMED DRY - Use this cycle if items are still damp after a Sensor Dry cycle.
RAPID DRY - Use for items requiring a short drying time.
FRESHEN UP - Use this cycle to help smooth out wrinkles from clean, dry clothes.
STOPPING OR RESTARTING
To pause/stop the dryer at any time - Open the door or press
PAUSE/CANCEL once.

Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor Dry 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.
■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.
Cycle tips
■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■Refer to the Sensor Dry or Timed Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness Level and choosing More or Less.
NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons and you cannot modify temperature with the Sensor Dry cycles.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Dry Cycle, press the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust up or down arrow buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Dry Cycle by pressing TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: The Dryness Level option is not available with Timed Dry Cycles.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See the Sensor Dry Cycles Preset Settings or the Timed Dry Cycle Preset Settings chart.
Cycle Control knob
Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.

Additional Features
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
Temperature
Temperature settings are used with the Timed Dry Cycles. Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature setting illuminates. Temperature settings cannot be used with the Sensor Dry Cycles.
Air Fluff
Use the Air Fluff temperature setting for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Fluff.

When using Air Fluff
■Check that coverings are securely stitched.
■Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.
■Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
NOTE: Air Fluff is not available with Sensor Dry cycles.
WRINKLE PREVENT Feature
WRINKLE PREVENT helps smooth out wrinkles that form when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer periodically starts and stops, tumbling the load for 90 minutes.
■Press the WRINKLE PREVENT feature to get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Stop at any time by pressing the WRINKLE PREVENT feature or opening the dryer door.
■WRINKLE PREVENT is preset to OFF. The sensor Dry cycles will retain the WRINKLE PREVENT setting. For example, if you select the WRINKLE PREVENT feature in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE PREVENT feature will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.)
NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE PREVENT feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period.
Cycle Signal
When on, this feature produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press SIGNAL ON/OFF. The light on the control will glow yellow when the Cycle Signal is on.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emit every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE PREVENT feature ends.
Status Lights
Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Dry Cycle if a wet item is detected.
■In a Sensor Dry Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and WRINKLE PREVENT indicators illuminate, if selected.
■In a Timed Dry 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.
Damp
The Damp light illuminates in a Sensor Dry Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry.
Cool Down
The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.
Dry
The Dry light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during WRINKLE PREVENT.
WRINKLE PREVENT
The WRINKLE PREVENT light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on with Dry.
Clean Lint Screen
The Clean Lint Screen light is a reminder to check to see whether the lint screen needs to be cleaned. The Clean Lint Screen light will come on when the machine is turned on. The light will flash until the cycle is started or the door is opened, and then the light will turn off.
Controls Locked
This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the control lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.
To enable the control lock feature:
Press and hold CYCLE SIGNAL button for 3 seconds. The CONTROLS LOCKED icon lights up, and a single beep tone is heard. To unlock, press and hold CYCLE SIGNAL button for
3 seconds. The indicator light turns off.
