Steam Cycles
In these cycles, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer
drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The STEAM
status light will come on while the water is sprayed into the drum.
The dryer will continue to tumble at Medium heat followed by a
brief cooldown. The Steam cycles include Quick Refresh and
Enhanced Touch Up. The heat setting and cycle time are not
adjustable for the Quick Refresh cycle, but can be adjusted for
the Enhanced Touch Up cycle.
Quick Refresh
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors
from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic
garments.
Enhanced Touch Up
This cycle uses water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from
items such as clothes packed in a suitcase or wrinkled from
being left in the dryer too long.

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
140 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 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 SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft or
Off) glows green.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic
Cycles.
