AUTOMATIC CYCLES
Automatic Cycles may be used for most loads. These cycles give the
optimal drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies according to
the type of fabric, size of the load, and dryness setting.
Automatic Drying Cycles
All Auto Cycles are preset to NORMAL DRY, which is good for most
fabrics. At the end of the cycle, you may check the dryness of the
load.
- If the load is drier than you like, you may select the Less Dry
setting the next time you dry a similar load.
- If a load is not as dry as you like, you may complete drying using
a Timed cycle. You may select the More Dry setting the next time
you dry a similar load.

Sensor System Auto Moisture Sensing
Dryness is determined by an electronic sensor that "feels" the amount
of moisture in clothes as they pass over it. When the selected dryness
[eve[ is reached, the dryer goes into a coo[ down period of up to
10 minutes.

OPTIONS
Drum Light
On some models, press DRUM LIGHT anytime to turn the drum light
ON or OFF. When the dryer door is opened, the drum light turns on.

TM
Option
The dryer continues to tumble every 5 minutes after the cycle is
complete to help keep wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics.
The intermittent tumbling can continue for as long as 90 minutes or
until the dryer is stopped and the load removed.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD
TM
setting is selected and the End of
Cycle Signal is on, a tone sounds every 5 minutes until the clothes are
removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD
TM
setting ends.
Damp Dry Signal
The dryer will alert you when the clothes are approximately 80% dry,
helping avoid overdrying items that you prefer to hang dry.
End of Cyde Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying
cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle
reduces wrinkling. Press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired
volume (Loud, Soft or Off) is selected.

fTroubleshooting -
Long Dry Times, Load Not Drying
Before you call service ._ check for the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
- Clean the lint screen before each load.
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint?
• Lint should be cleaned out of the exhaust vent at least once
every 2 years.
Is the Auto Dry Cycle ending early?
- Do not use a dryer rack with an Auto Dry Cycle.
Are all of your Auto Dry Cycle loads consistently not as dry as
you would like?
• You may change the preset Dryness Level settings to increase
dryness for all Auto Dry Cycles. See "Changing Cycles,
Modifiers and Options" in the Use and Care Guide.
