Cycle Signal 

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the 
drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of 
the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Press CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft or Off) 
glows green.

NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the 
End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every 
5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature is finished.

Button Sound

You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press 
BUTTON SOUND until the desired volume (Loud, Soft or Off) 
glows green. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly 
even when the Button Sound volume is set to Off.   

Changing Cycles, Options and Modifiers

You can change Auto Cycles, Timed Cycles, Modifiers and 
Options anytime before pressing Start. 

Three short tones sound if an unavailable combination is 
selected. The last selection will not be accepted.

Changing Cycles after pressing Start

1. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice. This ends the current cycle.

2. Select the desired cycle and options.

3. Press and hold START. The dryer starts at the beginning of 

the new cycle.

NOTE: If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the 
cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off.

Changing Modifiers and Options after pressing Start

You can change a Modifier or Option anytime before the selected 
Modifier or Option begins.

1. Press PAUSE/CANCEL once.

2. Select the new Modifier and/or Option.

3. Press and hold START to continue the cycle.

NOTE: If you happen to press Pause/Cancel twice, the program 
clears and your dryer shuts down. Restart the selection process.

Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings

If all your loads on all Auto Dry cycles are consistently not as dry 
as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level 
settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your 
Auto Dry cycles.

Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different 
installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. 
There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level), 
2 (slightly dryer clothes, approximately 15% more drying time) 
and 3 (much dryer clothes, approximately 30% more drying 
time). 

1. The Dryness Level settings cannot be changed while the 

dryer is running.

2. Press and hold the Dryness Level button for 5 seconds. The 

dryer will beep, and “CF” will be displayed for 1 second 
followed by the current drying setting.

3. To select a new drying setting, press the Dryness Level key 

again until the desired drying setting is shown. 
NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting 
will not flash, but the other settings will flash.

4. Press START to save the drying setting.

5. The drying setting you selected will become your new preset 

drying setting for all Auto Dry cycles.

Drying Rack Option 

The drying rack is useful for drying items you would not 
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry 
(for example, sweaters).

To obtain a drying rack for your model, follow the instructions on 
the insert included in your dryer drum.

To use the drying rack

Do not remove the lint screen.

1. Open dryer door.

2. Place drying rack inside dryer drum, positioning the back wire 

on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. Push down on 
front edge of drying rack to secure over the lint screen.

3. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between 

the items so air can reach all the surfaces.

NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.
