Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Sensor Dry Cycles or Timed Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart (in the “Cycles”
section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■ Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Sensor Dry
Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing
Dryness Level and choosing More or Less.
NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons and
you cannot modify temperature with the Sensor Dry cycles.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Dry Cycle, press the Timed Dry Cycle
Adjust up or down arrow buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Dry Cycle by
pressing TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot use the Dryness Level with Timed Dry Cycles.
Status Lights
Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Dry Cycle if a wet item is detected.
■ In a Sensor Dry Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the
dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and WRINKLE PREVENT
indicators illuminate, if selected.
■ In a Timed Dry 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.
Damp
The Damp light illuminates in a Sensor Dry Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80%
dry.
Cool Down
The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for
ease in handling.
Dry
The Dry light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during
WRINKLE PREVENT.
WRINKLE PREVENT
The WRINKLE PREVENT light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on
with Dry.
Clean Lint Screen
The Clean Lint Screen light is a reminder to check to see whether the lint screen needs to be
cleaned. The Clean Lint Screen light will come on when the machine is turned on. The light
will flash until the cycle is started or the door is opened, and then the light will turn off.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Options and Modifier settings selected.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See the Sensor Dry
Cycles Preset Settings chart or the Timed Dry Cycles Preset Settings chart.
Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following
Sensor Dry Cycles Preset 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.
Cotton/Towels or Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as cotton towels or bedspreads.
Jeans
Use this cycle to get regular heat for drying denims.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as sturdy work clothes and
sheets.
Wrinkle Control
Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, casual business
clothes and permanent press blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get extra-low heat for drying synthetic fabrics, washable knit fabrics and no-
iron finishes.
