To use a Sensor Dry Cycle
■
Press POWER.
■
Turn the knob to desired Sensor Dry Cycle.
■
Select DRYNESS to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the control
senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the selected
dryness level.
The default dryness setting is Normal when a Sensor Dry Cycle is selected. You can
select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and
choosing More, Less or Damp. Selecting More, Less or Damp automatically adjusts
the sensed time needed. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without
stopping the cycle.
■
Select the desired Options.
To make changes during a Sensor Dry Cycle:
■
Press PAUSE/CANCEL.
■
Adjust Dryness.
NOTE
: Dryness selections can be made only while using Sensor Dry Cycles.
How the Sensi-Care™ Drying System Works
Moisture-sensing strips and temperature sensors inside the dryer drum monitor how fast
the load is drying, how hot the air should be and when clothes are dry. The system
automatically stops the cycle to help save time and avoid overdrying.
To use a Timed Cycle
■
Turn knob to desired Timed Cycle.
■
Press the TIMED CYCLE ADJUST up or down arrows until the desired drying time is
displayed. Press the up or down arrows and the time will change by 1-minute
intervals. Press and hold the up or down arrows and the time will change by 5-minute
intervals.
NOTE:
The Timed Cycle Adjust features can be used only with Timed Cycles.
■
Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates.
NOTE:
The Temp feature can be used only with Timed Cycles.
NOTE:
During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temp, the Wrinkle
Prevent setting and the End of Cycle Signal.

If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start, press PAUSE/CANCEL twice.
STOPPING, PAUSING OR RESTARTING
To stop or pause your dryer at any time
Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to cancel a cycle.
To restart the dryer
Close the door. Press START until dryer starts.
NOTE
: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted if you close the door and
press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will
shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.
DRYING AND CYCLE TIPS
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor Dry Cycle
is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically
sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed 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.
■
If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.
■
To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is
especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
■
Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause
overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
