On some models, select Drum I.ight 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 opened and dosed, or the door is [eft 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 dosed, or DRUM I.IGHT is pressed again.
Press DRUM I.IGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.
Wrinkle Prevent Plus Setting
The Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting helps keep wrinkles from forming 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 WRINKI.E PREVENT PLUS setting to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic
tumbling at the end of a cycle.
Stop the Wrinkle Prevent Plus at any time by pressing WRINKI.E PREVENT PI.US setting or
opening the dryer door.
For the Wrinkle Control cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting is preset to ON. The other
Sensor Cycles will retain the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting. For example, if you select the
Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting in the Normal cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting will be
on the next time you select the Normal cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting, 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.
The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/[inens in a mixed load. When the
signal goes off, open the door to stop the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, dose the
door, and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the
drying process.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Sensor Cycles.
