NOTES:
• The capacity of the machine for washing
clothes is twice as much as when drying
clothes. If the machine is to be used to dry a
load, then the wash load must be reduced by
half for effective drying performance. If a full
load is washed, remove half the clothes prior
to starting the dry cycle.
• The Wrinkle Care feature is set automatically
when the drying cycle is complete and cannot
be disabled.
• This feature will help prevent wrinkling of the
clothes if they are not removed promptly when
the dry cycle ends.
When the drying cycle is completed,
[COOL DOWN] is displayed on the Multi display.
The COOL DOWN is set automatically when a
drying cycle is complete.
When you are not able to remove a load of
clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops,
wrinkles can form.
The COOL DOWN function periodically tumbles,
rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles
without heat for up to 4 hours.
The message will continue to display until
the clothes are removed or the Start/Pause
button is pressed.
Drying Guide–Timed Dry
• Press the Dry dial repeatedly to select the drying
time in 30 minute increments: 30–60–120 minutes.
• Timed dry can last up to 120 min. When selecting
Dry only, drying will start after the final Spin cycle.
• Drying times can vary greatly depending on
dampness, room temperature, and type of fabric.
You may need to add additional time. Your own
experience will be your best guide.
Drying Guide–Automatic Dry
Electronic sensors measure the temperature of
the exhaust to increase or decrease the drying
temperature for faster reaction time and tighter
temperature control.
Recommended Dry settings by fabric type:
a) Perm Press – Low Temp.
b) If clothes are to be ironed – Damp
c) Cotton/Towels – Normal
d) Diapers – More
NOTE: On Automatic Dry settings, the estimated
drying time may vary from the actual drying time.
The type of fabric, size of the load, and the selected
dryness level affect drying time.
Dry
Drying options are easily
selected with the DRY dial.
For most even drying, make
sure all articles in the clothes
load are similar in material and
thickness. Do not overload
the washer by placing too
many articles into the drum. Items must be able
to tumble freely. If you open the door and remove
the load before the washer has finished the
DRY cycle, remember to press the START/
PAUSE button.
By pressing the
Dry dial, you can select:
Low Temp. - For delicate fabrics
Damp - For damp drying fabrics
Normal - For general drying
More - For heavier fabrics

Drying Tips
Woolen Articles
Do not tumble dry woolen articles. Pull them to their
original shape and dry them flat.
Woven and Loopknit Materials
• Some woven and loopknit materials may shrink
when dried.
• Always stretch them out immediately after drying.
Permanent Press and Synthetics
• Do not overload your dryer.
• Take out permanent press articles as soon as the
dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.
Fiber or Leather Materials
Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Baby Clothes and Night Gowns
Always check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Rubber and Plastics
Do not dry any items made from or containing
rubber or plastics, such as:
a) Aprons, bibs, chair covers
b) Curtains and table cloths
c) Bathmats
Fiberglass
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Glass
particles left in the washer could be picked up by
your clothes the next time you use the washer and
irritate your skin.
NOTICE:
The Dry option is not a main function of this
combo model. If you desire the Dry option as a
main function, it is more efficient to use a single-
function dryer model.
