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
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 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.
TIME ADJUST + (plus) or – (minus). Adjust the temperature
of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP LEVEL until the desired

Sensor Cycles
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are

for all cycles with the exception of the Delicate and Bulky by

Rapid Refresh Small Load
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.
Custom Refresh
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.

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 setti

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.

Cleaning the Dryer Location
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the

As needed cleaning
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.

Cleaning the Lint Screen
Clean the lint screen before each load. The control panel has an
indicator light to remind you to clean the lint screen before each
load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
IMPORTANT:
■ 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.
