Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Auto 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.

■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 Auto or Timed Preset Cycle Settings charts (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

■Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose an Auto Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness Level and choosing More, Normal, or Less.

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

■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press the Time Adjust (More Time or Less Time) arrows. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temperature until the desired temperature is selected.

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

Wet

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

■In an Auto 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 GUARD® 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.

Damp

The Damp light illuminates in an Auto Dry Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry. Damp Dry Signal beeps, if selected. See “Options.”

Cool Down

The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.

Clothes Dry

The Clothes Dry light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during WRINKLE GUARD®.

WRINKLE GUARD®

The WRINKLE GUARD® light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on during WRINKLE GUARD®.

Check Lint Screen

The Check Lint Screen light reminds you to check the lint screen. The light illuminates when the user selects a cycle. It goes out when the door is opened, Start is pressed, or after 5 minutes elapses.

Indicator lights

Other indicator lights show Cycle, Options, Modifiers, and Cycle Signal settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time remaining.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Auto or Timed Preset Cycle Settings charts.

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Auto Preset Cycle 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.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans.

Cotton/Towels

Use this cycle to get high heat for drying heavy fabrics such as towels, sheets, or cottons.

Normal

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying casual business clothes, permanent press blends, or work clothes.

Bulky/Bedding

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters, and cotton or polyester fiber filled pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp Dry signal sounds. This step will aid in the drying process.

Ultra Delicate

Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as washable knit fabrics, blouses, or lingerie.

SteamCare Cycles

Use SteamCare Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. When a SteamCare Cycle is selected, the estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the cycle.

NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without.

Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes.

Refresh

This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable.

Touch Up

This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. In this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted for this cycle.

NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.
