26 USING YOUR WASHING MACHINE
Set the drying time, Dry
Drying options are easily selected with the
DRY button. For the 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 button, you can select:
1 LOW TEMP - For delicate fabrics
2 DAMP - For damp drying fabrics
3 NORMAL - For general drying
4 MORE - For heavier fabrics
5 30/60/90/120 - For timed drying
NOTE
y 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.
y The Wrinkle Care feature is set automatically when
the drying cycle is complete and cannot be disabled.
y 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 don't 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–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
y 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.
Drying Guide–Timed Dry
• Press the Dry button repeatedly to select the drying
time in 30 minute increments:
30–60–90–120 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 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.

Permanent Press and Synthetics
• Do not overload your dryer.
• Take out permanent press articles as soon as the
dryer stops to reduce wrinkles.

rubber or plastics, such as:
a) Aprons, bibs, chair covers
