How Automatic Cycles Work The AccelerCare TM function 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. The AccelerCare TM feature takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric

care.

To use a Manual Cycle NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the

feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.

• Press POWER.
