*Estimated Time with Automatic Level (Normal) setting.
MANUAL CYCLES
Use Manual Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and
a drying temperature. When a Manual Cycle is selected, the
Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time
remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the
cycle by pressing plus (+) or minus (-). See Starting Your Dryer.
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight
and bulky items such as bedspreads and work clothes.
Touch Up
Use this cycle to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as
clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in
the dryer too long.
Rapid Dry
Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time.
Dry Rack
Use this cycle with the drying rack to dry clothes without
tumbling. See Drying Rack.
*Use Air Only for items that require drying without heat such as
rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics.
Additional Features
Extra Care
Extra Care helps keep wrinkles from forming when you cannot
unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this
option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles again for a
brief period. A signal will sound periodically when the Extra Care
feature is on, if the Cycle End Tone option is selected.
Press Extra Care to get up to 2.5 hours of heat-free, periodic
tumbling at the end of a cycle.
Stop Extra Care at any time by pressing Extra Care or
opening the dryer door.
For the Normal/Casual Automatic Cycle, Extra Care is preset
to on. The other Automatic Cycles will retain the Extra Care
setting. For example, if you select Extra Care in the Delicate
cycle, Extra Care will be on the next time you select the
Delicate cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select Extra Care, the dryer stops after cool
down.
Cycle End Tone
If the Cycle End Tone option is selected, a signal will sound when
a cycle is complete. If the Extra Care feature is selected, the
signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you
open the door.
Press the CYCLE END TONE key to select a Soft or Loud signal
or to turn the signal off.
Sound System
The WHISPER QUIET
sound insulation system helps to maintain
a quiet home environment during dryer operation.
NOTE: If you do not load clothes properly, the quiet operation of
your dryer could be affected.
