Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
*Estimated Time with Dryness Level (medium) setting. Time will
vary depending on load type and load size.
Manual Cycles
Use Manual Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and
a drying temperature. When a Manual 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.
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Automatic 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.
Touch Up
Use this setting to remove wrinkles from items, such as clothes
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer
too long.
Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time.

Additional Features
WRINKLE SHIELD™ 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™
feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to
avoid wrinkles.
■ Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature to get up to
120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of
a cycle.
■ Stop at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature
or opening the dryer door.
■ For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is
preset to “On.” The other Automatic Cycles will retain the
WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature setting. (For example, if you
select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature in the Normal cycle,
the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature will be on the next time you
select the Normal cycle.)
NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, the
dryer stops after the cool down period.
Temperature
Temperature settings are used with the Manual Cycles. Press
TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature setting glows.
Temperature settings cannot be used with the Automatic Cycles.
Air Only
Use the Air Only 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 Only.
