Press the CYCLE END SIGNAL button to set signal 
volume to desired level.

Press and hold HOLD TO START button until dryer starts 
(about 1 second).

Once an Automatic cycle has started, the Extra Care feature 
and the Cycle End Signal level can be adjusted. Press the 
OFF button twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings, 
allowing you to select another cycle and Dryness Level.

This feature improves drying performance with Auto Moisture 
Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is 
extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature 
sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help 
measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they 
tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help 
save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the 
end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic 
cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the 
approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and 
amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have 
reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the 
estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final 
drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork 
out of drying time and enhances fabric care.

Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

Press MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons until the desired 
drying time is displayed. Tap - or + and the time will change 
by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold - or + and the time will 
change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the 
actual drying time. 

 The Manual Dry Time feature can be used only with 

Manual Cycles.

Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates.

Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple 

beep indicating that this option is not selectable. Also, a 
Dryness Level is not indicated.

Press the EXTRA CARE feature button if this option is 
desired.

Press the CYCLE END SIGNAL button to set volume to 
desired level.

Press (and hold) HOLD TO START button until dryer starts 
(about 1 second).

While a Manual Cycle is running, you can change the settings 
for Time, Temperature, the Extra Care feature, and the Cycle 
End Signal. Press the OFF button twice to stop the dryer and 
clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle.

is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. 
Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended 
use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Locked feature to 
avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

Press and hold the CYCLE END SIGNAL button for 3 seconds. 
The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control 
Locked status light is on. 

When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control 
On button before activating the Control Locked feature. 

3963

Press and hold the CYCLE END SIGNAL button for 3 seconds to 
turn this feature off. 

 When the dryer is running and Control Locked is on, the 

dryer can be stopped by pressing the Off button, but can ?t be 
restarted until the control is unlocked.

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your 
load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the 
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing 
the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the 
display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the 
cycle.

Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few 
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to 
handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down 
depends on the load size and dryness level.

567254

Follow care label directions when they are available.

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package 
instructions.

Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to 
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent 
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This 
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased 
shrinking or wrinkling.

254

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart 
(in the ?Cycles? section) for a guide to drying various loads. 

Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when 
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a 
different dryness level, depending on your load by 
pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or 
LESS. 

If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, 
you must press the MANUAL DRY TIME (- or +) buttons. 
Adjust the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing 
TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.

 You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual 

Cycles.
