How Auto Dry works
EvenHeat'^'^ improves drying performance with Auto Moisture
Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is
extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature
sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help
measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they pass.
An electronic control determines the load type to help save
time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end
dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle,
the estimated time display will adjust based on the
approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and
amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have
reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the
estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final
drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork
out of drying time and enhances fabric care.
To use a Manual Cycle
■ Select a Manual Cycle,
■ Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying
time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the
time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold
MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the time will change by
5-minute intervals.
NOTE: The More Time and Less Time features can be
used only with Manual Cycles.

LESS TIME
■ Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature
glows.
NOTE: During a Manuai Cycle, you can change the settings
for Time, Temperature, WRINKLE GUARD® and End of Cycle
Signal. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to stop the dryer and
clear the settings. Select another cycle or option.
(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more
details, see “Options.”
(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, set the END of CYCLE SIGNAL.
Select HIGH or LOW to alert you when a cycle ends.
Press and hold START for approximately 3 seconds until
dryer starts. Be sure the door is closed.
■ If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the
cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off.
■ If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start,
press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.
To stop your dryer at any time
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice or open the door.
This feature allows you to lock your settings to prevent
unintended use of the dryer. You can aiso use the Control Locked
feature to prevent unintended cycle or option changes during
dryer operation.
To enable the Control Locked feature:
Press and hold AUTO DRY LEVEL for 3 seconds. Control Locked
glows and a single beep tone is heard. To unlock, press and hold
AUTO DRY LEVEL for 3 seconds. The indicator light turns off.
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Auto Dry Cycle is running, the display shows the
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing
the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the
display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the
cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to
handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down
depends on the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label directions when they are available.
■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Foliow package
instructions.
■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especiaily important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of iighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■ Refer to the Auto Dry chart or Manual Preset Cycle Settings
chart (in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various
loads.
■ Drying temperature and Auto Dry Level are preset when
you choose an Auto Dry Cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Auto
Dry Level and choosing More or Less.
■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of
a Manual Cycle by pressing Temperature until the desired
temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose an Auto Dry Level with Manual
Cycles.
To pause the dryer at any time
Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once.
To restart the dryer
Close the door. Press and hold START until dryer starts.
NOTE: Dry! ng will continue from where the cycle was interrupted
if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle
is Interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off.
Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.
