CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Automatic Cycles
The automatic cycles use a moisture sensor to detect the surface conductivity of the
clothes. There are five dryness levels that can be selected. Refer to the Default Settings table for the valid default settings for each. Drying temperatures are determined
by the automatic cycle selected and cannot be changed.
For any of the automatic cycles, the total time of the cycle is dependent upon the
load size and moisture content. The maximum allowable cycle time for any of the
automatic cycles is 150 minutes. This time includes the add-on time and COOL
DOWN, but does not include WRINKLE SHIELD, which is up to an additional 120
minutes.
A cycle must be selected before any automatic cycle can be modified. The automatic cycle keys are not valid once the cycle has been started. During an automatic cycle, the 7-segment display will show an estimated time until the add-on
portion of the cycle. At that point, the Estimated Time LED will turn off, and the
actual time will be displayed.
Add-On-Time
Add-On-Time is an additional timed portion added to the automatic cycle when the
sensor can no longer detect the small levels of moisture remaining in the clothes
load. The Add-On-Time is necessary to complete the drying cycle to the dryness
level selected. The Add-On-Time is variable and is based on the overall drying
time and moisture reduction performance during the cycle.
Soft Heat
Soft heat is the Extra Low temperature setting used in the last five minutes of a
timed cycle. Soft heat is not used in the automatic cycles.

Cool Down
The time-based cool down time for automatic cycles varies from two to ten minutes, depending on the load size, moisture content, and dryness level selected.
For timed cycles, the cool down time depends on the total drying time the user
selects.
Wrinkle Shield
The WRINKLE SHIELD action tumbles the load without heat for 10 seconds of
every 5 minutes after the drying cycle is complete. WRINKLE SHIELD will continue for a maximum of 120 minutes (2 hours). If the door is opened and the
PAUSE/CANCEL key is pressed once, the control will enter the pause mode and
pressing the START key with the door closed will restart the WRINKLE SHIELD
operation. If the 120 minute time limit expires, the WRINKLE SHIELD action terminates, the CYCLE SIGNAL is then sounded, (if selected), and the control removes
power from the motor and LEDs. Pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD key while in
WRINKLE SHIELD mode also terminates WRINKLE SHIELD. In essence, deselecting WRINKLE SHIELD after the main cycle has completed simply turns the
dryer off.
SALES DEMONSTRATION MODE
The “Sales Demonstration Mode” allows sales personnel to quickly demonstrate
the cycles and options on the sales floor. The mode consists of an embedded
software routine which resides in the main dryer program which is defined as follows:
1. Open the dryer door.
2. Press the Touch Up cycle.
3. Select Air Only temperature.
4. Press Wrinkle Shield.
5. Press Start.
The sequence of operation is as follows:
• The Sensing LED turns on for 5 seconds and then turns off.
• The Wet LED turns on for 5 seconds and then turns off.
• The Damp LED turns on for 5 seconds and then turns off.
• The Drying & Cool Down LED turns on for 5 seconds and then turns off.
• The Cycle Complete and Wrinkle Shield LEDs turn on, and the End-Of-Cycle
signal sounds at the selected level.
Terminate the Sales Demonstration mode by pressing the Stop/Cancel keypad.
