Sensor Cycle Modifiers
Use the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select dryness levels for the Sensor Cycles. Press DRYNESS
LEVEL until the desired Dryness setting illuminates.
The preset dryness setting is Normal when a Sensor Cycle is selected. You can select a
different Dryness Level, depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL and choosing
More, Normal, Less, or Damp. Selecting More, Normal, Less, or Damp automatically adjusts
the Dryness Level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a Dryness Level is set, it cannot be
changed without stopping the cycle.
The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting for drying clothes; however, if desired,
one alternate temperature may be selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. Once the
alternate temperature has been selected, the next time the same cycle is selected, the
alternate temperature is remembered and displayed. The original (default) temperature may
be reselected. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not offer an alternate temperature.
NOTE: Dryness Level selections cannot be used with the Timed or Steam Cycles.
Timed Cycle Modifiers
Use the TEMP LEVEL button to select temperatures for the Timed Cycles. Press TEMP LEVEL
until the desired temperature setting illuminates.
Air Fluff
Use the Air Fluff Modifier for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic,
and heat-sensitive fabrics. This table shows examples of items that can be dried using Air
Fluff.
*Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
When using Air Fluff
Check that coverings are securely stitched.
Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.
Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
NOTE: Air Fluff is not available with Sensor Cycles.
Options
You can customize your cycles by selecting options.
Drum Light
On some models, select Drum Light to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. During a cycle,
if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is
pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.
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 dryer door is closed, or DRUM LIGHT is pressed again.
Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.
Wrinkle Prevent Plus Setting
The Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting 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.
Press WRINKLE PREVENT PLUS setting to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic
tumbling at the end of a cycle.
Stop the Wrinkle Prevent Plus at any time by pressing WRINKLE PREVENT PLUS setting or
opening the dryer door.
For the Wrinkle Control cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting is preset to ON. The other
Sensor Cycles will retain the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting. For example, if you select the
Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting in the Normal cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting will be
on the next time you select the Normal cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select the Wrinkle Prevent Plus setting, the dryer stops after cool down.
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.
The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in a mixed load. When the
signal goes off, open the door to stop the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the
door, and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the
drying process.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Sensor Cycles.
