a cycle at any time.

CYCLE CONTROL KNOB

Use your dryer’s cycle control knob to select available

cycles on your dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle

for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed

descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE

Touch and hold until the LED comes on to start a cycle,

or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up

and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Automatic Cycles)

or actual time remaining (for Manual Cycles) will be

displayed. For times longer than 99 minutes, hours

will be displayed followed by minutes.
Automatic Cycles are Heavy Duty, Normal, Bulky, Casual

(on some models), Delicates, and Sanitize (on some

models). Manual Cycles are Quick Dry and Timed Dry. The

Steam Cycle (on some models) is Steam Refresh. Touch

along the bottom of the display to adjust settings. Touch

“+” or “–” with Manual Cycles to increase or decrease

the length of a Timed Dry or Quick Dry cycle. See “Cycle

Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings

are available with all cycles.

Cycle Status Lights

The indicators at the top of the display will let you

know what stage of the drying cycle is in process.

For more information on each stage, see “Cycle Status

Indicators.”

Temp

When using Manual Cycles, you may select a dry

temperature based on the type of load you are drying.

Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in the

load. Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Automatic Cycles use a preset temperature that

is not adjustable.

Dryness Level

You may adjust the Dryness Level on Automatic Cycles

(except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.
NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Automatic Cycles

only.

Damp Dry Signal (on some models)

Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal. When selected, a

series of beeps will sound when the load is damp, but

not completely dry. This will allow you to take clothes

out of the load that do not need to dry completely.

This option is available on Heavy Duty, Normal, Bulky,

Casual, and Delicates cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is

selected as a default for the Bulky cycle, as a reminder

to manually reposition bulky loads midway through the

cycle.

Wrinkle Shield

Option

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately,

touch Wrinkle Shield to add up to 140 minutes of

periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. You may

select the “With Steam” setting (on some models)

to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help

smooth out wrinkles.
