Timed Cycles
Use Timed Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and
a drying temperature. (Temperatures are not selectable with Air
Fluff.) When a Timed Cycle is selected, the Estimated Time
Remaining display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle.
You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing More
Time or Less Time. See “Changing Cycles, Options, and
Modifiers.”
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight
and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes.
Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using
Timed Dry on a low temperature setting.
Quick Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time.
Touch Up
Use this cycle to help smooth out wrinkles from items, such as
clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in
the dryer too long.
Air Fluff
Rotate the dial to Air Fluff to use this cycle for items that require
drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive
fabrics. This table shows examples of items that can be dried
using Air Fluff. The temperature setting is not adjustable with
this cycle.

Options
You can customize your cycles by selecting options. Not all
Options are available with all cycles. Current selections will glow
green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light
will not illuminate when pressed and an error sound will be heard.
Wrinkle Prevent
Wrinkle Prevent helps smooth out wrinkles that form when you
cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During
this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles again for
a brief period.
■ Press WRINKLE PREVENT to get up to 2 hours of heat-free,
periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.
