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
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.
Quick 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.

Foam rubber - pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys 20 - 30

Options
You can customize your cycles by selecting options. Not all
Options are available with all cycles. Current selections will glow
green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light
will not illuminate when pressed and an error sound will be heard.
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 stops tumbling and then tumbles again for
a brief period.
■ Press WRINKLE PREVENT to get up to 2 hours of heat-free,
periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.
■ Stop Wrinkle Prevent at any time by pressing WRINKLE
PREVENT or opening the dryer door.
■ For the Casual cycle, Wrinkle Prevent is preset to ON.
The other cycles will retain the Wrinkle Prevent setting.
For example, if you select Wrinkle Prevent in the Normal
cycle, Wrinkle Prevent will be on the next time you select
the Normal cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select Wrinkle Prevent, the dryer stops
after cool down.
Damp Dry Signal
Select the Damp Dry Signal to alert you that your clothes are
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove
partially dry items that may need ironing.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic
Cycles.
Button Sounds
You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press
BUTTON SOUNDS until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off)
glows. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly when
the Button Sounds volume is set to Off.
Drum Light
Press DRUM LIGHT to turn on the light inside the dryer drum.
During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on
and will remain on until Drum Light is pressed again, the door is
open and closed, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.
When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when
Drum Light is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will
remain on until the dryer door has been open for 5 minutes, the
dryer door is closed or Drum Light is pressed again.
Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.
