During the first few minutes of the drying process, • the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.

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.

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.
