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 help
keep wrinkles from forming.
■ Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the
end of a cycle. Cancel at any time by pressing the WRINKLE
SHIELD™ feature button.
■ During the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, you may continue the
option after opening and closing the dryer door by pushing
START.
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
TEMP ADJUST until the desired temperature setting illuminates.
Temperature modifiers cannot be used with the Auto Cycles.
Air Only
Use the Air Only modifier 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.
Type of Load

When using Air Only

drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of
the cycle reduces wrinkling.

signal.

this control.

5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE
SHIELD™ feature is finished.
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.
