Drying and Cycle Tips
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 h
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.
eat during the last few
Non-Steam models
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: Time adjust and changing Temperature setting is
not available with Automatic Cycles. You cannot use the
Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with
the Automatic Cycles.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle,
press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the
temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE:
You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed
Cycles. Changing the Dryness setting is not available with
Timed Cycles.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying. See the Automatic, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings
Charts.
Steam models
Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle 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: Not all
cycles are available on all models.

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.

Sensing
■ In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet
item is detected.
■ In the Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the
beginning of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle.
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting helps keep wrinkles from forming
when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle.
During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles
again for a brief period.
■ Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting to get up to
120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a

■ Stop the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting at any time by pressing
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting or opening the dryer door.
■ For the Perm Press/Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™
setting is preset to ON. The other Automatic Cycles will retain
the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. For example, if you select the
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting in the Normal cycle, the
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting will be on the next time you
select the Normal cycle.
NOTE: If
you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, the
dryer stops after cool down.
Damp Dry Signal Option
Select the Damp Dry Signal to alert you that your clothes are
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove
partially dry items that may need ironing.
The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying
bedsheets/linens in a
mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the
dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and
restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load
will aid in the drying process.
NOTE: Th
e Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic
Cycles.
End of Cycle Signal Option
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of an Automatic Cycle if
a wet item is detected.
■ In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes dir
ectly into Cool
Down and the Cool Down and the WRINKLE SHIELD™
setting indicators illuminate, if selected.
■ In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will
continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet
light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate.
■ In the Enhanced Touch Up or the Quick Refresh Steam Cycles
(on some models), the Wet light comes on after the water has
been sprayed into the drum, 5-6 minutes into the cycle. The
Wet light illuminates until the dryer goes into Cool Down with
1 minute of time remaining.
Damp
The Damp light illuminates in an Automatic Cycle when the
laundry is approximately 80% dry. Damp Dry Signal beeps, if
selected. See “Options.”
Cool Down
The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the
cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.
Done
The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This
indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting.
WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting light illuminates when this option
is selected. This indicator stays on during the WRINKLE

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of
the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Cleaning the Lint Screen
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.
Removing Accumulated Lint
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
