4. Turn the knob to the selected cycle. The preset settings for Automatic Cycles or Timed Cycles will illuminate. The estimated (automatic cycle) or actual (timed) cycle time (in minutes) will show in the display.

NOTE: A default time is displayed when an automatic cycle is selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process, the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.

To use an Automatic Cycle

• Press POWER.

• Turn the knob to desired Automatic Cycle.

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Select DRYNESS to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected dryness level.

The default dryness setting is Normal when an Automatic Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Less or Damp. Selecting More, Less or Damp automatically adjusts the sensed time needed. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

Select the desired Options.

TIMEADJUST

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic 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.

• 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 Automatic 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 an Automatic Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less or Damp.

NOTE: You cannot use the Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with the Automatic Cycles.
