Cycle Settings And Options

Sensor dry cycles have preset settings that are selected
automatically. Manual dry cycles have default settings, but
you may also customize the settings using the cycle setting
buttons. Press the button for that option to view and select
other settings.
NOTE
To protect your garments, not every dryness level,
temperature, or option is available with every cycle.
See the Cycle Guide for details.
DRy LEVEL
Selects the level of dryness for the cycle. Press the Dry Level
button repeatedly to scroll through available settings.
• This option is only available with sensor dry cycles.
• The dryer will automatically adjust the cycle time. Selecting
More Dry or Very Dry will increase the cycle time, while Less
Dry or Damp Dry will decrease the cycle time.
• Use a Less Dry or Damp Dry setting for items that you wish to
iron.

This allows precise care of your fabrics and garments. Press the
Temp. Control button repeatedly to scroll through available
settings.
TIME DRy
Allows you to manually select the drying time, from 20 to 60
minutes, in 10-minute increments. Use this for small loads or to
remove wrinkles. Use the More Time/Less Time buttons to add
or reduce the drying time in 1-minute increments.
Your dryer features several additional cycle options to
customize cycles to meet your individual needs. Certain option
buttons also feature a special function (see the following page
for details) that can be activated by pressing and holding that
option button for 3 seconds.
To Add Cycle Options to a Cycle:
1. Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector knob to select
the desired cycle.
2. Use the cycle settings buttons to adjust the settings for that
cycle.
3. Press the cycle option button(s) for the option you would like
to add. A confirmation message will be shown in the display.
4. Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. The dryer will
start automatically.
WRInkLE CARE
Selecting this option will tumble the load periodically for up
to 3 hours after the selected cycle, or until the door is opened.
This is helpful in preventing wrinkles when you are unable to
remove items from the dryer immediately.
SIGnAL
To turn the Signal off, press the Signal On/Off button. Press
again to turn the Signal back on.
DAMP DRy SIGnAL
With this option, the dryer will signal when the load is
approximately 80% dry. This allows you to remove faster-
drying lightweight items or items that you would like to iron
or hang while still slightly damp.
RACk DRy
Use Rack Dry with items, such as wool sweaters, silk, and
lingerie, that should dry flat. Rack Dry can also be used with
items that should not be tumbled dry, such as gym shoes or
stuffed animals.
NOTE
NEVER use the rack with a tumble dry cycle.
To install the drying rack:
1. With the dryer door open, slide the rack into the dryer drum.
2. Make sure it is seated evenly on the edge of the inner door
rim and resting flat on the inside of the dryer.
NOTE
Be sure to remove the drying rack after using the Rack
Dry cycle.
