*Estimated time with dryness level (normal) setting. Time will vary depending on load type
and load size.
Timed Dry Cycles
Use Timed Dry Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature.
When a Timed Dry Cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual
time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing the
Timed Dry Cycle Adjust Up or Down arrow buttons. See “Changing Cycles, Options and
Modifiers.”
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an Sensor Dry Cycle. Timed Dry
is also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items such as bedspreads and work clothes.
Rapid Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time.
Freshen Up
Use this cycle to help smooth out wrinkles from items such as clothes packed in a suitcase or
items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.
Additional Features
Temperature
Temperature settings are used with the Timed Dry Cycles. Press TEMPERATURE until the
desired temperature setting illuminates. Temperature settings cannot be used with the Sensor
Dry Cycles.
Air Fluff
Use the Air Fluff temperature setting for items that require drying without heat such as rubber,
plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using
Air Fluff.
*Reset time to complete drying, if needed.
When using Air Fluff
■ Check that coverings are securely stitched.
■ Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.
■ Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
NOTE: Air Fluff is not available with Sensor dry cycles.
WRINKLE PREVENT
WRINKLE PREVENT helps smooth out wrinkles that form when you cannot unload the dryer
promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer periodically starts and stops,
tumbling the load for 90 minutes.
■ Press WRINKLE PREVENT to get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the
end of a cycle.
