CONTROL PANEL
Not all features and options are available on all models.
Appearance may vary.
Cycle Selector (Timer) Control
Auto-Sense Dry
The Automatic dry cycle takes the guesswork out of drying time
and enhances fabric care. The Automatic Dry cycle may be used
for most loads.
The Cycle Selector (Timer) control may be set to ENERGY
PREFERRED, which is good for most fabrics. At the end of the
cycle, you may check the dryness of the load.
If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to
■
Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
If the load is not as dry as you want, select a Timed cycle
■
to complete drying and the next time you dry a similar load,
choose a setting closer to Very Dry.
Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to the type
of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. On some models,
the temperature is included in the cycle selections.
WRINkLE PREVENT Setting (on some models)
The WRINKLE PREVENT features will run after your drying cycle
is complete. It periodically starts and stops the dryer, tumbling
the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling.
On some models, WRINKLE PREVENT automatically starts at the
end of the cycle. Opening the door will stop this feature.
NOTE:
A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE
PREVENT setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle signal
is also selected.
Timed Dry
On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections.
On models with a selectable temperature knob, you may choose
a setting based on the fabrics in your load. Drying time and
temperature will depend on your dryer model.
Temperature Control
(on some models)
You may select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your
load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load,
select the lower setting rather than the higher setting.
Temperature Tips
If your dryer has multiple heat settings:
A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight
■
items such as towels and work clothes.
A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying
■
medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,
underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
A Low heat setting may be used for drying lightweight items
■
such as lingerie.
You may use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or
■
heat-sensitive fabrics.
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE:
If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
End of Cycle Signal Control
(on some models)
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On
some models, the End of Cycle Signal is fixed. On other models,
the End of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound
only if set to On.
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the End of
Cycle Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The
signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control
knob to Off.
