the beeper is deactivated, or the Stop/Cancel
button is pressed.

When the Beeper button is pushed during a
deactivated state, the beeper turns ON at high
volume, the LED on the Beeper button turns ON,
and the beeper sounds. Pushing the Beeper
button again deactivates the option and turns OFF
the LED light.

Extend Tumble

Pushing the Extend Tumble button activates the
option; pushing the button a second time deacti-
vates the option. The Extended Tumble LED is
ON during the extended tumble care portion of the
cycle.

Add Time

Pushing the Add Time button once adds 10
minutes to the current cycle’s drying time. If the
button is pushed after the Stop/Cancel button, a
default 10-minute dry cycle activates at Medium
heat.

Antibacterial

Note: Use this option only with the Cottons or
Mixed Loads cycles. Do not use this cycle for
delicate fabrics.

Pushing the Antibacterial button adds high heat
to a portion of the current drying cycle. The Timed
Dry
 LED remains ON until the end of the cycle, at
which time the Clean Lint Filter LED turns ON.

Commercial Dryer

The commercial dryer uses the keypad model
control design. It has fewer keypad options and is
designed for apartment or commercial noncoin
applications.
