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. Follow package
instructions.
■
To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
■
Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■
Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
■
Refer to the Automatic or Timed Cycles Preset Settings chart
(in the “Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
■
Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a
different dryness level, depending on your load, by
pressing Dryness Level and choosing More Dry, Normal,
or Less Dry.
NOTE:
You cannot use the Timed Cycle Adjust and you
cannot modify temperature with the Automatic cycles.
■
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle,
press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of
a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMPERATURE until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE:
You cannot use the Dryness Level with Timed
Cycles.
Status Lights
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.
Time
d
Cycle
The Timed Cycle light glows green during a Timed Cycle.
Wet
The Wet light glows green at the beginning of Automatic Cycle if
a wet item is detected or in a timed cycle after 5 minutes.
■
In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
5 minutes, the dryer will run for a preset minimum run time
(based on the selected cycle and dryness level setting) and
then go into Cool Down. The Cool Down and Wrinkle Prevent
indicators will glow green, if selected.
■
In a Timed Cycle, the Wet light will glow green after 5 minutes
and remain on until the dryer enters Cool Down.
Damp
The Damp light glows green in an Automatic Cycle when the
laundry is approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want
to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying
or remove partially dry items that may need ironing. To be alerted
when the load is about 80% dry, you may use the damp dry
signal option. See Damp Dry Signal in “Options.”
Cool Down
The Cool Down light glows green during the cool down part of
the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.
Clothes Dry
The Clothes Dry light glows green when the drying cycle is
finished. This indicator stays on during Wrinkle Prevent.
Wrinkle Prevent
The Wrinkle Prevent light glows green when this option is
selected. This indicator stays on with Clothes Dry.
Sensing/Revising Est. Time
The Sensing/Revising Est. Time light glows green when moisture
sensing strips in the dryer drum are measuring the amount of
moisture in the clothes. The estimated time display may adjust
to show a more accurate drying time.
In
d
icator lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Options, Modifiers, End of
Cycle, and Control Lock settings selected. The display shows
the estimated or actual time remaining.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying. See Automatic Dry chart or Timed Preset Cycle Settings
chart.
Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following Automatic Dry Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads,
cotton towels, or bedspreads.
Denim
Use this cycle to get medium high heat for drying denims.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes and sheets.
Casual
Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such
as sport shirts, casual business clothes, and permanent press
blends.
