Cycle Selection (Con't)
Delicate
Select this Auto Dry cycle for knits and delicate
items.
Quick
Select this cycle to quickly dry a small load made
up of just a few items. It provides approximately
20 minutes of tumbling followed by a 10-minute cool
down period.
Touch Up
Select Touch Up to help remove wrinkles from clean
and dry items that were not taken from the dryer at
the end of the cycle, have been stored in crowded
closets or drawers, or unpacked from luggage
following a trip. It provides approximately 10 minutes
of tumbling followed by a 5-minute cool down
period.
Timed Dry
To manually select the drying time for any load,
turn the knob to a numbered setting. Drying times
from 15 to 90 minutes are available in 15-minute
increments. You will not be able to select a cycle
or dryness level. Timed Dry is recommended when
using the No Heat option.
Note: To change cycles, press PAUSE/CANCEL
twice.

Temperature Selection

For best results, follow the fabric care label
instructions on items to be dried.
High is recommended for sturdy fabrics.
Medium is recommended for wrinkle free,
permanent press and lightweight fabrics.
Low is recommended for delicate fabrics.
No Heat should only be used with a Timed Dry
setting to dry items containing feathers, down, foam
rubber, plastics or rubber-like materials; to freshen
clothing, pillows or blankets; or to dust draperies.
Note: Using No Heat in any Auto Dry cycle will
result in long drying times and /or wet loads at the
end of the cycle.
To avoid fire hazard, do not use heat
to dry items containing feathers or down, foam
rubber, plastics, or similarly textured, rubber-like
materials. Use the No Heat setting only.

Cycle Adjustments

A suitable combination of dryness level and options
will automatically be displayed for each cycle. The
settings can be changed before the cycle is started.
Those adjustments will automatically be
remembered each time that cycle is selected. If a
dryness level or option is not recommened for a
cycle, the indicator will not light. See the "Dryer
Settings Chart" for more details.
If changes are attempted after the cycle starts, the
status lights will blink and the signal will beep 3
times. The cycle must be paused before the
settings can be changed.
Dryness Level
To change the dryness level, press DRYNESS until
the desired selection is made. Select Normal for
most loads.
Occasionally a load may seem too damp or over-
dried at the end of the cycle. To increase drying
time for similar loads in the future, select More
Dry. For loads requiring less drying time, select
Less Dry.
Select Damp Dry for items you wish to partially
dry before hanging or ironing.
Note: To prevent over-drying, not every dryness
level is available with every cycle.
Options
To select an option, press OPTIONS until the
indicator for the desired option flashes and press
SELECT. If an option is not available for a cycle,
the indicator will not light. Follow the same steps
to delete an option.
The Cycle Signal will sound at the end of the cycle
and periodically during Wrinkle Rid.
Select Wrinkle Rid if the dried load might not be
removed promptly at the end of the cycle. The dry
load will continue tumbling without heat for 30
minutes to help reduce wrinkling. When the Cycle
Signal is selected, a beep will be heard periodically.
The load may be removed any time during Wrinkle
Rid.
Select Soft Heat to protect fabrics from the effects
of over-drying. Wrinkling, static build-up, linting,
fading and harshness can occur if loads are dried
too long at the wrong temperature. As the load
tumbles and becomes drier, the temperature is
gradually lowered.
