CYCLE GUIDE
Not all cycles and settings are available on all models.
*On some models, the dryer continuously tumbles the load, without heat, for up to 30 minutes or until the dryer door is opened.
End of Cycle Signal Control
(on some models)
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On
some models, the End of Cycle Signal is fixed. On other models,
the End of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound
only if set to On.
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the End of
Cycle Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The
signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control
knob to Off.
