Additional Features

Drum Light
Select 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 20 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 20 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.
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 help
keep wrinkles from forming.
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 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.
Damp Dry Cycle Signal
On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected 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.
The DAMP DRY SIGNAL is useful when drying bedsheets/linens
in a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop
the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and
restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load
will aid in the drying process.
Press DAMP DRY CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume
(Loud, Soft or Off) glows green.
NOTE: This signal is independent of the Damp Dry Cycle. The
Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic Cycles.
Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the
drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of
the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft or Off)
glows green.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the
End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every
5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE
SHIELD™ feature is finished.
Button Sound
You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press
BUTTON SOUND until the desired volume (Loud, Soft or Off)
glows green. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly
even when the Button Sound volume is set to Off.

Changing Cycles, Options and Modifiers

You can change Auto Cycles, Timed Cycles, Modifiers and

Changing Modifiers and Options after pressing Start
You can change a Modifier or Option anytime before the selected
Modifier or Option begins.

2. Select the new Modifier and/or Option.
3. Press and hold START to continue the cycle.
NOTE: If you happen to press Pause/Cancel twice, the program
clears and your dryer shuts down. Restart the selection process.
Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings
If all your loads on all Auto Dry cycles are consistently not as dry
as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level
settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your
Auto Dry cycles.
Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different
installations, environmental conditions or personal preference.
There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level),
2 (slightly dryer clothes, approximately 15% more drying time)
and 3 (much dryer clothes, approximately 30% more drying
time).
