Operating Instructions

Cycle Options

Suitable options will automatically be indicated 
when the cycle is selected.

To add 

options

, press the corresponding 

options

 

buttons to illuminate the selections desired. To 
delete 

options

, press the 

options

 buttons again 

and the indicator lights will turn off.

To protect your fabrics, not all 

options

 are avail-

able with every cycle. If an 

option

 is not appropri-

ate for the cycle, it will not be displayed. Occa-
sionally, two options in the same cycle will confl ict 
with each other, like 

line dry

 and 

anti static

. When 

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

       NOTE

To change the 

options

 once the cycle has 

begun, press the 

pause

 button, make the new 

selections and press 

start

 again.

       NOTE

The 

sanitize 

and

 add steam

 options will be 

retained and recalled if either is selected and 
saved in the 

my favorite cycle

.

All 

options

 selected for the cycle, except 

sanitize

 

and 

add steam

, will be remembered and recalled 

each time that cycle is selected in the future. To 
prevent unintentional and accidental exposure of 
delicate material to 

sanitize

 heat or unexpected 

steam, the 

sanitize

 

option

 and the 

add steam 

option

 will not be remembered and must be rese-

lected each time.

EXTENDED TUMBLE

Select the 

extended tumble

 option if the dried 

load might not be removed promptly at the end of 
the cycle. The dry load will tumble continuously 
without heat for 30 minutes. 

EXT. TUMBLE

 will be 

displayed and a chime will sound periodically to 
remind you to remove the dried load.

LIGHT (press & hold)

The drum light will come on whenever the door is 
opened to illuminate the drum during loading and 
unloading. Closing the door turns off the light. The 
drum light will automatically turn off if the door is left 
open more than 3 minutes.

You can activate the drum light during a cycle by 
pressing and holding the 

extended tumble

 button. 

The light will stay on during the cycle for 3 minutes. 
To turn it off, press and hold the button again.

DELAY START 

Press 

delay start

 to select a drying time conve-

nient to your schedule or during off peak energy 
hours. The delay time selected will be displayed 
and begin counting down when you select 

start

.

       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.

CHIME (press & hold)

A signal will sound at the end of the cycle (and 
periodically during 

extended tumble

) if this option 

is selected.

ADD STEAM

The 

add steam

 option injects steam into the cloth-

ing prior to cool down to reduce wrinkling, ironing 
and static cling. 

ANTI STATIC (press & hold)

The 

anti static

 option injects steam into the cloth-

ing just before cycle completion to reduce static.

LINE DRY

Select this option to simulate hanging your laundry 
in a summer breeze combined with the wrinkle-
releasing benefi ts of tumble action. Since drying 
times are calculated with the dryer’s automatic 
moisture sensors and heat is radically reduced 
or eliminated, cycle time will be lengthened. As 
a result, depending on moisture content of load, 
overall energy consumption decreases.  

SHRINK GUARD

Select 

shrink guard

 to lower the initial drying tem-

perature to protect fabrics from overdrying.

CONTROL LOCK

To lock the controls between cycles, press and 
hold the 

control lock

 button for 5 seconds. Re-

peat to unlock the controls when you are ready to 
operate the dryer. Use this feature to reduce the 
likelihood of accidental operation by children.

ECO FRIENDLY

The 

eco friendly

 option reduces the drying tem-

perature a few degrees to save energy. In conjunc-
tion with automatic moisture sensors, cycle times 
will increase slightly, but overall energy usage will 
decrease.
