How Automatic Cycles Work This feature improves drying performance with Auto Moisture

Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and

amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the

estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

To use a Manual Cycle

• Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

Press MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Tap - or + and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold - or + and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.

NOTE: The Manual Dry Time feature can be used only with Manual Cycles.

• Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE: Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple beep indicating that this option is not selectable. Also, a

Dryness Level is not indicated.

• Press the EXTRA CARE feature button if this option is desired.

• Press the CYCLE END SIGNAL button to set volume to desired level.

estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual 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 Automatic or Manual 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 an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or
