Cycles - Kenmore 110.C9787 Series Use & Care Manual

Timed Cycle
The Timed Cycle light glows green during a Timed Cycle.
Wet
The Wet light glows green at the beginning of Auto Dry if a wet
item is detected or in a timed cycle after 5 minutes.
In an Auto Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 5 minutes,
the dryer will run for a preset minimum run time (based on the
selected cycle and dryness level setting) and then go into
Cool Down. The Cool Down and WRINKLE GUARD
indicators will glow green, if selected.
In a Timed Cycle, the Wet light will glow green after 5 minutes
and remain on until the dryer enters Cool Down.
Damp
The Damp light glows green in an Auto Cycle when the laundry is
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove
partially dry items that may need ironing. To be alerted when the
load is about 80% dry, you may use the damp dry signal option.
See Damp Dry Signal in "Options."
Cool Down
The Cool Down light glows green during the cool down part of
the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.
Clothes Dry
The Clothes Dry light glows green when the drying cycle is
finished. This indicator stays on during WRINKLE GUARD
WRINKLE GUARD ®
®
The WRINKLE GUARD light glows green when this option is
selected. This indicator stays on with Clothes Dry.
Sensing/Revising Est. Time
The Sensing/Revising Est. Time light glows green when moisture
sensing strips in the dryer drum are measuring the amount of
moisture in the clothes. The estimated time display may adjust to
show a more accurate drying time.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Options, Modifiers, End of
Cycle and Control Lock settings selected. The display shows the
estimated or actual time remaining.
