clothes. It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that
have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using a Steam Cycle.
The Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.
The Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.

Drum Light
When pressed during a cycle, the Drum Light turns on and will remain on until pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or
the door is left open for 20 minutes. WRINKLE SHIELD TM Feature
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD TM
feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.
Get up to 140 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Turn off at any time by pressing the WRINKLE
SHIELD TM feature or opening the dryer door. For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature is
preset to "ON." The other cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature setting. (The Wrinkle Shield feature is preset
to "ON" for the Casual Cycle. Ifselected for other cycles, it will remain "ON" the next time that cycle is selected.)
Damp Dry Signal
On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected 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: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic Cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is not a selectable option for the Sanitize cycle.

DRYERCARE
" ' ' l.}_/Te' [,ocal_on
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage instalation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
'_......._;IIIl=l_]__._,I,..,.,.,,1,.
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint
screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
To clean
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IM PORTANT:
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. See "Venting Requirements."
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
