DRYER USE

Starting Your Dryer

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

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).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, explosion, or fire.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Follow these basic steps to start your dryer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint

Screen.”

2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.

3. Press the selected cycle pad. The preset settings for Auto Dry

Cycles or Manual Cycles will glow. The estimated or actual cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.

To use an Auto Dry Cycle

■ Select an Auto Dry Cycle.

■ Select AUTO DRY 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.

■ Select the desired Options.

WARNING

Fire Hazard No washer can completely remove oil. 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 or by using an Air Cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

To make changes during an Auto Dry Cycle:

■ Adjust Options.

NOTE: Auto Dry Level selections can be made only while using Auto Dry Cycles. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Auto Dry Level and choosing More or Less. Selecting More or Less automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.

How Auto Dry works

EvenHeat™ improves drying performance with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they pass. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

To use a Manual Cycle

■ Select a Manual Cycle.

■ Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying

time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE: The More Time and Less Time features can be used only with Manual Cycles.

■ Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature

glows.

NOTE: During a Manual Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temperature, WRINKLE GUARD

and End of Cycle Signal. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings. Select another cycle or option.

4. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more

details, see “Options.”

5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, set the

END of CYCLE SIGNAL

Select HIGH or LOW to alert you when a cycle ends.

6. Press and hold START for approximately 3 seconds until

dryer starts. Be sure the door is closed.

■ If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the

cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off.

■ If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start,

press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.

Stopping Your Dryer

To stop your dryer at any time

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice or open the door.

Pausing or Restarting

To pause the dryer at any time

Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once.

To restart the dryer

Close the door. Press and hold START until dryer starts. NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted

if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

Control Locked

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avert unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Locked feature to avert unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

To enable the Control Locked feature:

Press and hold AUTO DRY LEVEL for 3 seconds. Control Locked glows and a single beep tone is heard. To unlock, press and hold AUTO DRY LEVEL for 3 seconds. The indicator light turns off.

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 Manual 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 Dry chart or Manual Preset Cycle Settings

chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.

■ Drying temperature and Auto Dry Level are preset when

you choose an Auto Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Auto Dry Level and choosing More or Less.

■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,

press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing Temperature until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose an Auto Dry Level with Manual Cycles.
