Status Lights
Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Cycle if a wet item is detected.
In a Sensor Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer
goes directly into Cool Down. The Cool Down and the Wrinkle Prevent setting indicators
will illuminate, if selected.
In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length
of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The Damp light will not illuminate.
Damp
The Damp light illuminates in a Sensor Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry.
Damp Dry signal beeps, if selected. See “Options.”
Cool Down
The Cool Down light illuminates during the Cool Down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for
ease in handling.
Dry
The Dry light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during the
Wrinkle Prevent setting.
Wrinkle Prevent
The Wrinkle Prevent setting light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays
on during the Wrinkle Prevent setting.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options, and Cycle Signal settings selected. The
display shows the estimated or actual time remaining.
Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor or Timed
Cycle Settings charts.
Sensor Cycles
Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following
Sensor 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. An alternate temperature is selectable for all cycles with the
exception of the Delicate by pressing the TEMP LEVEL button.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get regular heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.
Wrinkle Control
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 extra-low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, blouses, or washable
knit fabrics.
