QUICK START GUIDE
NOTE: This Use and Care Guide covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the cycles and features described.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before operating this appliance. The following is a guide to using your dryer.
Please refer to specic sections of this manual for more detailed information.
START

SENSOR DRY CYCLES
Sensor Dry Cycles automatically match the cycle
setting to the type of load, and adjust drying
time for optimal performance. See the “Cycles
Sensor Dry Preset Settings Chart.”
To make changes during a Sensor Dry Cycle:
1. Press PAUSE/CANCEL once.
2. Select DRYNESS LEVEL and/or OPTION.
NOTE: Dryness Level selections can be made only while
using Sensor Dry Cycles. Selecting More, Normal, or Less
automatically adjusts the sensed time needed.
3. Press and Hold START.
TIMED DRY CYCLES
Use a Timed Dry cycle to set a drying time
and temperature.

Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If a Sensor 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.
■ 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.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Sensor Dry or Timed Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart
(in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■ Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you
choose an Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness
Level and choosing More or Less.
NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or
Down arrow buttons and you cannot modify temperature
with the Sensor Dry cycles.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Dry Cycle,
press the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust up or down arrow buttons.
Adjust the temperature of a Timed Dry Cycle by pressing
TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: T

he Dryness Level option is not available with Timed

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying.
See the Sensor Dry Cycles Preset Settings or the Timed Dry Cycle
Preset Settings chart.
Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Sensor Dry Cycles Preset 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.

NOTE:
WRINKLE PREVENT Feature

cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this
option, the dryer periodically starts and stops, tumbling the load for
90 minutes.

heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Stop at any
time by pressing the WRINKLE PREVENT feature or opening the
dryer door.

retain the WRINKLE PREVENT setting. For example, if you select
the WRINKLE PREVENT feature in the Normal cycle, the
WRINKLE PREVENT feature will be on the next time you select
the Normal cycle.)
