Cycle Guide
This dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load.
The controls layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps: First determine what
items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your selection. Then determine
how you want the dryer to dry them and select the appropriate selection. Modifiers are preset
for the items being dried, but can be changed if desired.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automatic
cycles. These cycles measure the drying air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer
off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer performance and results may vary
with service voltage less than 240.

Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the

Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Automatic
Cycles only. This indicator will show the status of airflow through
the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer's life. During the
sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light
will come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This
light will stay on for the entire cycle. Should the Check Vent light
illuminate, refer to the online "Troubleshooting" section for potential
solutions to the issue.
The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching
Power, or opening the door. The Check Vent light will continue to
illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.
NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate even while the indicator is
lit, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall performance.
See "Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow" in the Owner's
Manual.
NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent
indicator will not light up. See the online "Troubleshooting" section.
