How Auto Moisture Sensing Plus works
EvenHeat TM 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, prevent 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 stop your dryer at any time Press STOP twice or open the door.
To pause the dryer at any time Open the door or press STOP once. To restart the dryer Close the door and press START. 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. You will need to select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.
Properly loading your dryer can lower your utility bill and prolong the life of your garments.
Loading suggestions
Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight.
Do not overload the dryer. This causes uneven drying and wrinkling.

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
The display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is
automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a cycle is using Manual Dry, 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. 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 you use fabric softener sheets, follow the package instructions.
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle tips
Dry most loads using the presetcycle settings.
Use this chart as a guide to dry various loads. Drying temperature and Auto Dry Level (Normal Dry) are preset when you choose an Auto Dry cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load (see "Modifiers").
For a Timed cycle, drying temperature is preset, but the time can be adjusted.
