Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This 
could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased 
shrinking or wrinkling.

If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items in the Bulky 
Items cycle, rearrange the load when the signal sounds. This 
will aid in the drying process.

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, 
NORMAL or LESS. 

If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle, 
you must press the DRY TIME up or down buttons. Adjust 
the temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing 
TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual 
Cycles.

Status Lights

You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status 
indicator lights.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature

The WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature light glows during the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature (when selected). 

Sensing

When a cycle is first turned on, the Sensing light glows until a wet 
item is detected.

In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected 
within 10 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the dryer 
will shut down.

In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 
10 minutes, the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle 
continues. 

Wet

The Wet light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in 
the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:

The damp dry point is reached in an Automatic Cycle. 

The dryer enters the cool down period in a Manual Cycle.

Damp

The Damp light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry 
level. To be alerted when your load is approximately 80% dry, you 
may use the Damp Dry Cycle Signal option. See “Damp Dry 
Cycle Signal” in “Additional Features” section.

NOTE: The Damp light is not used with manual cycles.

Cool Down

The Cool Down light glows during the cool down part of the 
cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling. 

Done

The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This 
indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature.

Indicator lights

Other indicator lights on the control panel show Cycle, 
Temperature, Dryness Level, and cycle signal settings selected. 

The time display will indicate the estimated or actual time 
remaining in a cycle.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are 
drying. See Automatic Preset or Manual Preset Cycle Settings 
chart.

Cycle Control knob

Automatic Cycles

Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you 
are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings 
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended 
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and 
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get High heat for heavyweight mixed loads, 
cotton towels or jeans.

Bulky Items

Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying large items that 
require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters and 
pillows. Rearrange the load halfway through the dryer cycle. This 
will aid in the drying process. 

Normal

Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such 
as work clothes and sheets. 

Casual

Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as 
sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press 
blends.

Delicate

Use this cycle to get Low heat to gently dry items such as 
washable knit fabrics. 

Super Delicate

Use this cycle to get Extra-Low heat to gently dry items such as 
lingerie.
