STEP 2
Select Options
Extended Tumble
Extended Tumble is provided to minimize wrinkles in
the Auto Dry Wrinkle Control cycle. This feature
provides an extra 60 minutes of unheated tumble
action at the end of the cycle. Clothes can be removed
any time during this portion of the cycle.
The additional 60 minutes of unheated tumbling can
be canceled by turning the switch to Off.
End of Cycle Signal

select models, the End of Cycle Signal can be turned
down or Off.

(select models)
STEP 3
Select Cycle
To select a cycle, rotate the control dial to the desired
setting. When using an Auto Dry cycle, the control dial
should point between More Dry and Less Dry for most
loads.
Loads of larger or bulkier size may require the More
Dry setting to completely dry the load. The Less Dry
setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for
leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the
cycle.
Auto Dry Regular
The Auto Dry Regular cycle is designed to dry most
cottons and linens. At the end of the cycle, the clothes
are cooled for approximately 10 minutes to reduce
wrinkling.
Auto Dry Wrinkle Control
The Auto Dry Wrinkle Control cycle is designed to dry
wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, double knits and
permanent press fabrics automatically. At the end of
the cycle, the clothes are cooled for approximately 25
minutes to reduce wrinkling. If the load is not removed
from the dryer and Extended Tumble (select models)
has been selected, the cycle will advance to Extended
Tumble which provides additional unheated tumbling
time. (See Step 2).
