Drying and Cycle Tips
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.
Drying tips
■
Follow care label directions when they are available.
■
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
shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
■
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 plus (+) or minus (-) buttons. Adjust the
temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing TEMP until
the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual
Cycles.
Status Display
Messages on the status display help you to follow the progress of
your dryer.
Wet
WET is displayed at the beginning of the Automatic or Manual
Cycle if a wet item is detected.
■
In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down. COOL
DOWN will be displayed, along with EXTRA CARE, if
selected.
■
In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected, the dryer will
continue to run for the length of time selected, but WET will
not be displayed.
Damp
DAMP is displayed if the load has reached the damp dry level.
NOTE: DAMP will not be displayed with Manual Cycles.
