Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about 
1 second).

Once an Automatic cycle has started, the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature and cycle signals can be adjusted. Press 
the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to stop the dryer and clear the 
settings, allowing you to select another cycle and Dryness 
Level. 

NOTE: Time and Temperature are not adjustable for 
Automatic Cycles. Pressing the DRY TIME or TEMPERATURE 
buttons will cause a triple beep, indicating that the time 
cannot be changed.

How Automatic Cycles Work

The AccelerCare™ function improves drying performance 
with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle 
as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor 
(electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in 
the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the 
clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the 
load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase 
the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes 
of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust 
based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level 
selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the 
clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level 
selected, the estimated time display will adjust again, 
showing the final drying time. The AccelerCare™ feature 
takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric 
care.

To use a Manual Cycle

NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the 
feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is 
selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is 
unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.

Press POWER.

Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.

Press the DRY TIME up or down buttons until the desired 
drying time is displayed. Press DRY TIME, and the time 
will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold DRY 
TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The 
initial time displayed is the actual drying time.  

The Dry Time feature can be used only with Manual 
Cycles.

Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature 
glows green.

Temperature settings can be changed only with Manual 
Cycles.

Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button if this 
option is desired.

Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle 
signal volume to desired level.

Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about 
1 second).

NOTE: Dryness Level is not adjustable for Manual Cycles. 
Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple beep 
indicating that this option is not selectable. 

While a Manual Cycle is running, you can change the settings 
for Time, Temperature, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature and 
the cycle signals. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to 
stop the dryer and clear the settings, allowing you to select 
another cycle.

Stopping Your Dryer

To stop your dryer at any time

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice or open the door.

Pausing or Restarting

To pause the dryer at any time

Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once.

To restart the dryer

Close the door and press and hold START button 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.

Control Locked

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended 
use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Locked feature to 
avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

To enable the Control Locked feature when dryer is 
running: 

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK/UNLOCK button for 
3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and 
the Control Locked status light is on. 

When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control 
On button before activating the Control Locked feature. 

To unlock:

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK/UNLOCK button for 
3 seconds to turn this feature off. 

NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Locked is on, the 
dryer can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but 
cannot be restarted until the control is unlocked.

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.

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package 
instructions.

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.
