Drying and Cycle Tips
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.
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.
■ 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.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could
cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased
shrinking or wrinkling.
■ If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items, rearrange the
load when the signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Sensor or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the
“Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■ Drying temperature and Sensor Cycles Dryness are preset to
Normal when you choose a Sensor Cycle and will dry most
loads adequately using the most efficient amount of energy.
You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your
load by pressing the SENSOR CYCLES DRYNESS button to
select More Dry, Normal, or Less Dry.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, you
must press the TIME ADJUST up or down buttons. Adjust the
temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TIMED CYCLES
TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Sensor Cycles Dryness with
Timed, Steam, or Sanitize Cycles. Some cycles are not
available on all models.

Sensor Cycles
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following “Sensor 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.
Sanitize (on some models)
Use this cycle for items such as towels, bedding, children’s clothing,
or other items needing to be sanitized. This cycle is designed to
eliminate 99.9% of 3 common infectious bacteria. This cycle should
be run to completion to ensure sanitization. For best results, do not
interrupt cycle.

■ In a Timed Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 10 minutes,
the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle continues.
Timed Cycle Light
The Timed Cycle and Sensing light indicators will glow during the
drying cycle of a timed cycle. After the drying time is complete, the
dryer will go through a Cool Down cycle; during this time, the Cool
Down indicator will glow.
After Cool Down completes:
■ If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected, the Dry section of
the indicator will glow. The Wrinkle Prevent indicator will flash
and the load will intermittently tumble for 120 minutes.
■ If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is not selected, the clothing
will stop tumbling and the Dry section of the indicator will glow.
