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.

Status Lights
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.
Sensing
When a cycle is first turned on, the Sensing light glows until a wet
item is detected.
■
In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected
within 10 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the dryer
will shut down.
■
In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
10 minutes the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle
continues.
Wet
The Wet light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in
the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:
■
The damp dry point is reached in an Automatic Cycle.

The dryer enters the cool down period in a Manual Cycle.
Damp
The Damp light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry
level.
NOTE: The Damp light is not used with manual cycles.
Cool Down
The Cool Down light glows during the cool down part of the
cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling.

drying cycle (including the WRINKLE SHIELD™ cycle of 2 hours),
when Pause/Cancel is pressed, or when the door is opened.

Cycle control knob
Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get High heat for heavy fabrics such as cotton
towels or bedspreads.
Normal
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying large items that
require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters and
pillows. Rearrange the load halfway through the dryer cycle. This
will aid in the drying process.
Casual
Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as
sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press
blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get Extra Low heat to gently dry items such as
lingerie or washable knit fabrics.
