Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor 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.
■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.
■Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■Refer to the Sensor, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose a Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp. The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting; however, you may select an alternate drying temperature by pressing TEMP LEVEL. Once selected, the new heat setting will be retained until reset to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not allow an alternate temp to be selected.
■If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press TIME ADJUST + (plus) or – (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor 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. An alternate temperature is selectable for all cycles with the exception of the Delicate and Bulky by pressing the TEMP LEVEL button.

Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the cycle.
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.
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.

The preset dryness setting is Normal when a Sensor Cycle is selected. You can select a different Dryness Level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp. Selecting More, Normal, Less, or Damp 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.
The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting for drying clothes; however, if desired, one alternate temperature may be selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. Once the alternate temperature has been selected, the next time the same cycle is selected, the alternate temperature is remembered and displayed. The original (default) temperature may be reselected. The Delicate and Bulky cycles (on Steam model) do not offer an alternate temperature.

On some models, select Drum Light to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. When pressed during a cycle or not running, the Drum Light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or the door is left open for
5 minutes.
The Wrinkle Prevent/Wrinkle Prevent Plus (Steam Models) option helps keep wrinkles from forming when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. With this feature selected, the dryer tumbles the load intermittently for up to 120 minutes.
■Get up to 90 (Non-Steam Models) or 120 minutes (Steam Models) of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.
■Turn off at any time by pressing WRINKLE PREVENT/WRINKLE PREVENT PLUS setting or opening the dryer door.
■For the Wrinkle Control cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent/Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting is preset to ON. The other Sensor Cycles will retain this setting. For example, if you select the Wrinkle Prevent/Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting in the Normal cycle, this setting will be ON the next time that cycle is selected.
The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door, and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the drying process.
Wet
■In a Sensor Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down. The Cool Down and the Wrinkle Prevent setting indicators will illuminate, if selected.
■In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The Damp light will not illuminate.

Changing Cycles, Modifiers,
and Options
■Three short tones sound if an unavailable combination is selected. The last selection will not be accepted.
Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level), 2 (slightly dryer clothes, approximately 15% more drying time) and 3 (much dryer clothes, approximately 30% more drying time).
NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting will not flash, but the other settings will flash.
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model allows drying rack usage and for information on ordering, please refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
■Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint.
