Timed Cycles
Use Timed Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and
a drying temperature. (Temperatures are not selectable with Air
Fluff). When a Timed 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 More
Time or Less Time. See “Changing Cycles, Options and
Modifiers.”
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Auto Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and
bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes. Lightweight
garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry
on a low temperature setting. Timed Dry can also be used with
the Tumble Free Heated Dryer Rack.
EXPRESS DRY™
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time.
Touch 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.
Air Fluff
Rotate the dial to Air Fluff to use this cycle for items that require
drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive
fabrics. This table shows examples of items that can be dried
using Air Fluff. The temperature setting is not adjustable with this
cycle.
*Reset cycle 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.
*Use the Air Fluff cycle for items that require drying without heat
such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics.
Options
You can customize your cycles by selecting options.
WRINKLE GUARD ®
WRINKLE GUARD ® helps smooth out wrinkles that form 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 WRINKLE GUARD ® to get up to 2 hours of heat-free,
periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.
■ Stop WRINKLE GUARD ® at any time by pressing WRINKLE
GUARD ® or opening the dryer door.
■ For the Casual cycle, WRINKLE GUARD ® is preset to ON. The
other cycles will retain the WRINKLE GUARD ® setting. For
example, if you select WRINKLE GUARD ® in the Normal
cycle, WRINKLE GUARD ® will be on the next time you select
the Normal cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select WRINKLE GUARD ® , the dryer stops
after cool down.
