options

 until the indica-

tor for the desired option fl ashes, then press 

set

The indicator will be illuminated when the option 
has been selected. Follow the same steps to 
delete an option.

To protect your fabrics, not all options are avail-
able with every cycle. If an option is not avail-
able for a cycle, the indicator will not light.

Occasionally, two options or settings in the same 
cycle will confl ict with each other, like 

eco

 op-

tion and 

sanitize

 temperature (on select models). 

When this happens, the option selected fi rst will 
cause the confl icting option to not be selectable.

extended tumble (on select models)

Select the 

extended tumble

 option if the dried 

load might not be removed promptly at the end 
of the cycle. The dried load will tumble continu-
ously without heat for 30 minutes. A chime will 
sound periodically to remind you to remove the 
dried load.

The 

wrinkle release

 option can be selected with 

extended tumble

 to increase the amount of time 

the load will tumble without heat up to 75 minutes.

 

delay start

Use   

delay start

 to select a drying time conve-

nient to your schedule or during off -peak energy 
hours. The start of any cycle can be delayed for 
30 minutes to 12 hours. Scroll through the op-
tions to select the   

delay start

 option, press 

set

 and then to scroll to the delayed desired 

time setting with the cycle selector. After choos-
ing the desired delay time, press 

start

 and the 

delay time will begin counting down.

 

perfect steam

TM

The 

 

perfect steam

TM

 option injects steam 

into the clothing prior to cool down to reduce 
wrinkling, ironing and static cling. 

   

NOTE

It is not recommended to use fabric softener 
sheets with steam cycles or steam options as it 
may cause staining on clothes.

   

NOTE

To change the options once the cycle has 
begun, press the 

pause

 button, make the new 

selections and press 

start

 again.

   

NOTE

While counting down during 

delay start

, you 

will notice your dryer periodically tumbling for 
a few minutes without heat to redistribute the 
load, maximizing load freshness.

anti-static (on select models)

The 

anti-static

 option injects steam into the 

clothing just before cycle completion to reduce 
static.

wrinkle release

The 

wrinkle release

 option helps prevent 

wrinkles and tangling by tumbling the dry 
load without heat for 5 minutes out of every 10 
minutes. The 5 minutes on and 5 minutes off  is 
repeated for a total 45 minutes. A chime will 
sound after every 5 minute tumble to remind you 
to remove the dried load.

The 

extended tumble

 (if available) option can 

be selected with 

wrinkle release

 to increase the 

amount of time the load will tumble without heat 
for up to 75 minutes.

 

lock

To lock the controls between cycles, scroll to 
the   

lock

 option and press 

set

. “ ” will be 

displayed on the panel. To unlock the controls 
scroll to the   

lock

 option and press 

set.

 Use 

this feature to reduce the likelihood of acciden-
tal operation by children.

eco

The 

eco

 option reduces the drying temperature 

a few degrees to save energy. In conjunction 
with automatic moisture sensors, cycle times 
will increase slightly, but overall energy usage 
will decrease. The 

 symbol will be shown on 

the center display to indicate the 

eco

 option is 

activated.
