Temp (Temperature)

You can change the temperature of your dry cycle.

High For regular to heavy cottons. Medium For synthetics, blends and items labeled Permanent Press. Low For delicates, synthetics and items labeled Tumble Dry Low. No Heat This option may only be used with Air Fluff and Timed Dry, in which items are tumbled

without heat.

Level

The sensor continuously monitors the amount of moisture in the load. When the moisture in your clothes reaches your selected dry level, the dryer will stop.

NOTE: Sensor dry Level can be used with all cycles except Timed Dry, Air Fluff, Rack Dry, Warm Up and Dewrinkle.

Extra Dry Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels. Dry Use for normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy saving. Less Dry Use for lighter fabric (ideal for ironing). Damp For leaving items partially damp.

Delay Dry

Options

Damp Alert

Clean Filter Empty Tank

This option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level and the Damp Alert indicator

appear on the screen. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. This feature will only beep when the Damp Alert option is selected. The dryer will continue to dry after the Damp Alert indicator is populated on the screen and dryer beeps. Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp can reduce the need to iron some items.

Extended Tumble

Minimizes wrinkles by adding approximately 2 hours of no-heat tumbling after clothes are dry. The estimated time remaining display will show “END”. The extended tumble time does not get added to the cycle time on the display.

Detangle

Activates alternating forward and reverse tumbling to reduce tangling, dry more evenly, and improve drying times. Typical loads such as bed and bath mixed loads, where sheets, towels and pillow cases are laundered together, benefit from this capability. When the dryer reverses direction, there will be a slight pause and sound change. This is normal.

NOTE: Detangle is selected by default for Towels and Heavy Duty cycles.

eDry

Reduces total energy consumption of specific dryer cycles by adjusting certain heat settings.

NOTE: Cycle times will change when eDry is selected. ENERGY STAR® models are tested on Cottons cycle with default settings to determine energy use rating of

this dryer. The eDry option will default to on for Cottons. Temperature settings on High and dryness level setting on Dry are specifically designed for this cycle to reduce energy consumption. For optimal energy savings, turn eDry on. For optimal drying times, turn eDry off. Energy savings will vary across loads and cycles.

The eDry selection can be used with Mixed Loads, Cottons, Heavy Duty, Towels, Casuals, Active

Sorting and Loading Hints

WARNING

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.

• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).

• No washer can completely remove oil.

As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.

Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in this dryer when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.

- Fire Hazard

• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it

(including cooking oils).

• Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline.

• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Drying Rack

A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate items such as washable sweaters. Place items flat on the drying rack and block such items as wool sweaters and delicate fabrics. Dry with low heat.

To install the drying rack, extend the drying rack into the dryer drum and rest the front two legs on the front angled ledge.

NOTES:

ʄ The drying rack is designed for use with the Timed Dry cycle. Use with sensor cycles may result

in damp items or extended cycle times.

ʄ Do not use this drying rack when there are other clothes in the dryer, that are not placed on the rack.
