Cycle Selection

For best results, follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be dried.

Auto Dry

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying time. The load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the

desired dryness level. The dryer senses the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through heated air. Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.

When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will

continue to tumble, unheated, during a Cool Down period. This

helpsreducewrinklingand makesitems easierto handleduring

unloading. Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load,

weight and fabric type. Room temperature and humidity, type of

installation and electrical voltage orgas pressure can also affect drying time.

Towels

Select this Auto Dry cycle for towel loads. Normal

Select this Auto Dry cycle for cotton items. Perm Press

Select this Auto Dry cycle to dry cottons and blends with a no- iron finish.

Delicate Select this Auto Dry cycle for knits and delicate items.

Quick Select this cycle to quickly dry a small load made up of just a

few items. It provides approximately 20 minutes of tumbling fol-

lowed by a 10-minute cool down period.

Touch Up

Select Touch Up to help remove wrinkles from clean and dry items that were not taken from the dryer at the end of the cycle,

have been stored in crowded closets or drawers, or unpacked from luggage following a trip. It provides approximately 10 minutes of tumbling followed by a 5-minute cool down

period. Timed Dry

To manually select the drying time for any load, turn the knob to

a numbered setting. Drying times from 15 to 90 minutes are

available in 15-minute increments. You will not be able to select

a cycle or dryness level. Timed Dry is recommended when us-

ing the No Heat option.

Note: To change cycles, press Pause/Cancel twice.

Temperature Selection

For best results, follow the fabric care label

instructions on items to be dried.

High is recommended for sturdy fabrics.

Medium is recommended for wrinkle free, permanent press and

lightweight fabrics.

Low is recommended for delicate fabrics.

No Heat should only be used with a Timed Dry setting to dry

items containing feathers, down, foam rubber, plastics or rub-

ber-like materials; to freshen clothing, pillows or blankets; or to

dust draperies.

Cycle Selection (Con't)

Note: Using No Heat in any Auto Dry cycle will result in long drying times and/or wet loads at the end of the cycle.

Toavoid fire hazard, do not use heat to dry items

containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the No Heat setting only.

Cycle Adjustments

A suitable combination of dryness level and options will

automatically be displayed for each cycle. The settings can be changed before the cycle is started. Those adjustments will automatically be remembered each time that cycle is selected. If a dryness level or option is not recommened for a cycle, the indicator will not light. See the "Dryer Settings Chart" for more

will blink and the signal will beep 3 times. The cycle must be

paused before the settings can be changed. Dryness Level

Note: Toprevent over-drying, not every dryness level is available with every cycle.

Options To select an option, press OPTIONS until the indicator for the

desired option flashes and press Select. If an option is not

available for a cycle, the indicator will not light. Follow the same

steps to delete an option. The Cycle Signal will sound at the end of the cycle and periodi-

cally during Press Saver.

Select Press Saver if the dried load might not be removed

promptly at the end of the cycle. The dry load will continue tumbling without heat for 30 minutes to help reduce wrinkling. When the Cycle Signal is selected, a beep will be heard
