Damp Dry Signal
Select the Damp Dry Signal to alert you that your clothes are
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove
partially dry items that may need ironing.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Auto
Cycles.

glows. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly when
the Button Sounds volume is set to Off.

During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on

When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when
DRUM LIGHT is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will
remain on until the dryer door has been open for 5 minutes, the

Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.

Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings
If all of your loads on all Auto Dry cycles are consistently not as

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
button 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.
The drying setting you selected will become your new preset
drying setting for all Auto Dry cycles.
