USING THE DR
YER
Getting started
Drying
Cycles
Sensor cycles automatically determine fabric dryness.
Timed cycles run for the selected time.
STEAM
Dewrinkle
(on
some models)
For use with larger loads than
STEAM Refresh
. Ideal for loads left in the dryer for an extended time.
STEAM Dewrinkle is recommended for larger loads (9-13 garments).
NOTE:
Steam cycles are not intended for use with towels.
Important - the temperature setting must be set to High and water must be turned on before
running the STEAM Dewrinkle cycle.
STEAM
Refresh
(on
some models)
For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles. After the
STEAM Refresh
cycle,
the unit will beep (if
Sound
is selected) and display “00.”
STEAM Refresh is recommended for small loads (3-5 garments).
NOTE:
Steam cycles are not intended for use with towels.
NOTE:
A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included in the
STEAM Refresh
cycle to achieve optimum results.
Important - the temperature setting must be set to High and water must be turned on before
running the STEAM Refresh cycle.
SANITIZE
This option reduces certain types of bacteria including: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The anti-bacterial process occurs when high heat is used
during a portion of the drying cycle; cool down also will be longer to protect you from a hot garment.
NOTE:
Do not use this cycle on delicate fabrics.
BULKY/
Comforter
For large coats, bed spreads, mattress covers, sleeping bags, and similar large/bulky items such as
blankets, comforters, jackets, and small rugs.
TOWELS/
Sheets
For most towels and linens.
COTTONS/
Normal
For cottons and most linens.
NOTE:
ENERGY STAR
®
models are tested on
COTTONS/Normal
with default settings (
Dry
level,
Low
temperature and
ecoDry
).
MIXED LOAD
For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends.
CASUALS/
ACTIVE WEAR
For wrinkle-free, permanent press and special sports items that need extra drying care.
DELICATES
For delicate items, special-care fabrics and knits.
QUICK DRY
For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sport or school uniforms. Can also be used if the
previous cycle left some items damp, such as collars or waistbands.
NOTE:
On some models, the time
remaining in the cycle will show counting down in the display.
JEANS
For jeans.
TIMED DRY
Set the Cycle Selector at the desired drying time.
WARM UP
Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes.
AIR FLUFF
Provides 10 minutes of tumbling time with no heat.

select
TIMED DRY
and set
Temp
to
No Heat
.
ecoDry
Available for
BULKY/Comforter, TOWELS/Sheets, COTTONS/Normal, MIXED LOAD, JEANS, CASUALS/
ACTIVE WEAR
and
DELICATES
. When the
ecoDry
button is pressed, cycle settings change to reduce the
total energy consumption of the selected sensor cycle.
NOTE:
Cycle times will change when
ecoDry
is selected.
The
ecoDry
option will default to on for
COTTONS/Normal
. For optimal energy savings, turn
ecoDry
on.
For optimal drying times, turn
ecoDry
off.
NOTE:
Energy savings will vary across loads and cycles.
