Your dryer has features that may vary from those described in
your Owner's Manual. These features are illustrated and
described on this sheet. Refer to your Owner's Manual for
general operating instructions.
EVENHEAT
TM
with Auto Moisture
Sensing Plus Cycle
Proper use of the EVENHEAT
TM
with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus
cycle will dry your clothes faster
and at lower temperatures.
This cycle takes the guesswork out
of drying. Dryness is determined by
an electronic sensor that "feels" the
amount of moisture in clothes as
they pass over it. Once the cycle
starts, the sensor automatically
adjusts the drying time based on
the size of the load and the types
of fabric being dried. As a result,
you get more precise drying tem-
peratures and clothes dry faster.
The EVENHEAT _ drying system
uses a solid-state sensor to pre-
vent the large variations in drying
temperatures that occur in most
other dryers. More consistent,
even heat in every cycle results in
better fabric care by shortening
drying times and by maintaining
lower drying temperatures.
More about EVENHEATTMwith Auto
Moisture Sensing Plus
• When the Cycle Selector Control (Timer)
is set to NORMAL DRY _1_, a nd has run
through a full drying cycle, you can feel
the dried clothes and determine if they
are more damp than you would like.
EVENHEAT
AUTO MOIStuRE S_ISIN6 PLUS
• If the load is too damp, you can use the
TIMED DRY cycle to dry the clothes
further. The next time you do a similar
load, move the timer toward MORE DRY.
• If the load is overdried at the end of the
cycle, you can move the timer toward
DAMP DRY the next time you do a similar
load.
NOTE: For very small loads (3-4 garments)
use the TIMED DRY cycle for best results.
You can use the FABRIC CARE/
Temperature Control with a setting that is
appropriate for your load.
When to Use DAMP DRY
Selecting DAMP DRY helps shorten
drying times for items you would
normally hang dry,
_'_NH_T
MOI_RE SEN_4N_
Some fabrics will shrink if dried in a clothes
dryer. Selecting DAMP DRY gives you the
benefit of electronic moisture sensing.
Clothes are dried with heat for a brief time
so most of the moisture is removed.
However, the drying cycle stops while the
clothes are still damp to prevent overdry-
ing. As a result, fabrics retain the proper
amount of moisture so they will not shrink.
When to Use the TUMBLE FREE
TM
Heated Dryer Rack
The dryer rack gives you concentrat-
ed heat for efficient and uniform
drying. It also reduces noise when
drying items that have buckles.
Use the heated drying rack with the
TIMED DRY cycle only. This allows you
to machine dry items for a specific
length of time without tumbling.
FABRIC CARE/Temperature
Control
I_/_jli!/'-if_il _'[:-] i [,;]i _t |
Proper use of this control helps
ensure that fabrics are dried at the
right temperature for maximum life.
Use this control to select the drying
temperature that matches the fabrics in
your load.
• For hand washed or delicate items,
select the ULTRA DELICATE setting.
This setting will not exceed a maximum
drying temperature of 140°R
NOTE: Not all hand washable garments
can be dried in a dryer. Check the care
label on all hand washable garments to
determine whether or not they can be
machine dried.
• For a description of garment types and
temperature settings, refer to your
Owner's Manual.

MOISTURE MONITOR
The Moisture Monitor senses moisture in
the load and indicates the drying status:
• WET - A wet load is in the dryer.
• DAMP - The load is 80% dry. You may
remove partially dry items (which saves
on ironing) or the lighter items of a mixed
load (e.g., sheets and towels).
• COOL DOWN - The load is dry and is in
the COOL DOWN period.
"Smart," Temperature-Sensing COOL
DOWN Period
Once the selected level of dryness is
reached, the dryer goes into a cool down
period lasting 1-10 minutes. Unlike other
dryers which provide a fixed 10-minute
cool down, this "smart" cool down period is
based on the temperature of the clothes in
your load and varies the time accordingly.
The Moisture Monitor's "Cool Down" light
will come on during this period.
• For small loads or loads that are dried at
a lower temperature, the cool down
period will be reduced to as low as one
minute.
• For large loads or loads that are dried at
a high temperature, the cool down period
will be closer to ten minutes.
