Select type of load to dry

First select a cycle from the “What to Dry” (Automatic cycles)

options; then select a “How to Dry” option to get the best

combination cycle available for the type of items you are

going to dry. You may also select the Sanitize cycle for a long,

high-heat cycle which has been proven to reduce household

bacteria. The Sanitize cycle overrides previous selections and

cannot be modified. See “Cycle Guide” for cycle details. Not

all cycles are available on all models.

Automatic Cycles:

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your

load. Touch DRYNESS to scroll to Less to More. Selecting

Less to More automatically adjusts the dryness level at which

the dryer will shut off. Dryness level can be changed in the first

5-8 minutes of the cycle.
Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.

Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and

dryness setting.

NOTE:

Automatic Cycles will give you up to four temperatures

to adjust, depending on the model and the “What to Dry” or

“How to Dry” selections that have been made.

TIMED DRY Cycle:

When you select Timed Dry/Quick, the default time appears

in the display. Touch MORE TIME or LESS TIME to increase

or decrease the time in 5-minute increments.
The default temperature may be changed by touching Temp

until the desired dry temperature is lit.

Steam Refresh Cycles (on some models):

Select Steam Refresh to reduce odors and light wrinkles in

dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester

blends, common knits, and synthetics. If you will be unable

to remove a load immediately, touch WRINKLE SHIELD™ to

add up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling. You may select

the + Steam setting to add a short steam cycle after 60

minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.

Touch and hold START/PAUSE

to begin cycle

To begin the cycle, touch and hold START/PAUSE until the
display counts down “3-2-1” and the dryer starts.

Remove garments promptly

after cycle is finished

Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed

to reduce wrinkling.

Adjust cycle modifiers, if desired

You may adjust different settings,

depending on what you are drying and

how you are going to dry the item. Use Air

Dry for items like feather pillows, plastic

shower curtains, rubber-backed rugs

and mats and vinyl tablecloths.

NOTE:

Not all options and modifiers

are available with all cycles. Not all cycles

are on all models.

Select any additional options

Add additional options such as Reduce Static, Wrinkle

Shield™, and/or EcoBoost™ (on some models) by touching

that option. If you will be unable to remove the load promptly,

select Wrinkle Shield™ before touching START/PAUSE. You

may select the “+ Steam” setting (on some models) to add

a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out

wrinkles.

NOTE:

Not all options and settings are available with all

cycles.
