Toward the end of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.

Dual Action Drying System

The Dual Action Drying system uses two motors: one to tumble

your clothes and another to provide the best airflow for drying your load. Your dryer senses and adapts to the load you are drying, your cycle settings and your installation setup by varying the blower motor speed. Your dryer will continuously adjust throughout the drying cycle.

When a cycle begins, you will hear the clothes tumbling, foll

owed by the Dual Action blower motor starting. Throughout the cycle, you may hear the sound of airflow increasing or decreasing. This sound is normal.

To use an Auto Dry Cycle

■ Press POWER.

■ Select an Auto Dry Cycle.

■ Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the

load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.

The default dryness setting is Normal when an Auto Dry Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal, or Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

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: Y 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.

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.

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.
