Status Lights; Cycles - Maytag MEDB800VB - Bravos Steam Electric Dryer Use And Care Manual

■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause
overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Sensor, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section)
for a guide to drying various loads.
■ Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose a Sensor Dry
Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing
Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less, or Damp. The initial preset temperature is
the preferred setting; however, you may select an alternate drying temperature by
pressing TEMP LEVEL. Once selected, the new heat setting will be retained until reset
to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not allow an
alternate temp to be selected.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press TIME ADJUST
– (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP LEVEL until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles.

Status Lights

Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Cycle if a wet item is detected.
■ In a Sensor Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer
goes directly into Cool Down. The Cool Down and the Wrinkle Prevent setting indicators
will illuminate, if selected.
■ In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length
of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The Damp light will not illuminate.
Damp
The Damp light illuminates in a Sensor Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry.
Damp Dry signal beeps, if selected. See "Options."
Cool Down
The Cool Down light illuminates during the Cool Down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for
ease in handling.
Dry
The Dry light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during the
Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting.
Wrinkle Prevent
The Wrinkle Prevent setting light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays
on during the Wrinkle Prevent setting.
Steam
The steam light illuminates as water is being sprayed into the drum.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options, and Cycle Signal settings selected. The
display shows the estimated or actual time remaining.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor, Steam or
Timed Cycle Settings charts.
+ (plus) or
Sensor Cycles
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following
Sensor Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying
time for optimal drying. An alternate temperature is selectable for all cycles with the
exception of the Delicate and Bulky by pressing the TEMP LEVEL button.
Bulky
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times
such as jackets, comforters, and cotton or polyester fiber filled pillows. Rearrange the load
when the Damp Dry signal sounds. This step will aid in the drying process.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get regular heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.
Wrinkle Control
Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business
clothes, and permanent press blends.
