CHECK LINT SCREEN

This feature is a reminder to check whether the lint

screen needs to be cleaned. The Check Lint Screen

light will come on when the dryer is turned on. The light

will flash until the cycle is started or the door is opened.

ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING

A preset time is displayed when an Auto Dry Cycle

is selected. During the first few minutes of the drying

process, the cycle time may automatically vary from the
preset time based on the size and fabric type of the load.
Toward the end of the drying process, the estimated time
display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.
For Timed Cycles, this time will count down from the start
of the cycle.

CYCLE SELECTOR CONTROL

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry Cycles may be used for most loads. These cycles

give optimal drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies
according to the type of fabric, size of the load, and dryness
setting.

Auto Dry Cycles

ll Auto Dry Cycles are preset to the Normal Dryness Level,

A
which is good for most fabrics. At the end of the cycle, you may
check the dryness of the load.

• If the load is drier than you like, you may select the Less

Dryness Level the next time you dry a simliar load.

• If the load is not as dry as you like, you may select the More

Dryness Level the next time you dry a similar load. You may
complete drying using a Timed Cycle.

Auto Moisture Sensing

Dryness is determined by an electronic sensor that “senses”
the amount of moisture in clothes as they pass over it. When
the dryness selected is reached, the dryer goes into a cool
down period of up to 10 minutes.
