How Auto Dry works

SmartHeat™ improves drying performance with Auto

ure Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture

Moist 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 tumble. 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 Timed Cycle NOTE: A ligh

t next to each feature will glow green when the feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable.

■ Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with

SteamCare cycles as it may cause temporary staining on clothes.

■ Press the POWER button. Then rotate the dial to select

the SteamCare Cycle. The indicator light for the selected cycle will glow blue. The preset modifiers for the selected cycle will glow green. Selectable options will glow amber. If an option or modifier is unavailable with the selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. The actual cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.

Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Auto Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time, which is determined by your dryer automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle or SteamCare 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

utes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to

min 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, Timed, or SteamCare Cycles Preset

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

■ Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when

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

NOTE: Y cannot modify temperature with the Auto Cycles.

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

Timed Cycle

The Timed Cycle light glows green during a Timed Cycle.

Wet

The Wet light glows green at the beginning of Auto Dry if a wet item is detected or in a timed cycle after 5 minutes.

■ In an Auto Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 5 minutes,

the dryer will run for a preset minimum run time (based on the selected cycle and dryness level setting) and then go into Cool Down. The Cool Down and WRINKLE GUARD

indicators will glow green, if selected.

■ In a Timed Cycle, the Wet light will glow green after 5 minutes

and remain on until the dryer enters Cool Down.

■ In a Steam Cycle, the Wet status light will glow green when

the water is being dispensed onto the load.

Damp

The Damp light glows green in an Auto Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing. To be alerted when the load is about 80% dry, you may use the damp dry signal option. See Damp Dry Signal in “Options.” The Damp light glows green in a Steam Cycle after water is dispensed onto the load.

Cool Down

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

Clothes Dry

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

120.

WRINKLE GUARD®

The WRINKLE GUARD® light glows green when this option is selected. This indicator stays on with Clothes Dry.

Sensing/Revising Est. Time

The Sensing/Revising Est. Time light glows green when moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum are measuring the amount of moisture in the clothes. The estimated time display may adjust to show a more accurate drying time.

Indicator lights
