During this option, the dryer periodically starts and stops,
tumbling the load for 90 minutes.

Stop WRINKLE PREVENT at any time by pressing WRINKLE
PREVENT or opening the dryer door.

will retain the WRINKLE PREVENT setting. For example, if
you select WRINKLE PREVENT in the Normal cycle,

Normal cycle.
NOTE: WRINKL
E PREVENT must be selected with a cycle in
