Cycle tips
Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
Refer to the Automatic or Manual Preset Cycle Settings chart
(in the Cycles section) for a guide to drying various loads.
Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can choose a
different dryness level, depending on your load by
pressing the DRYNESS LEVEL button to select MORE or
LESS.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Manual Cycle,
you must press MORE TIME or LESS TIME. Adjust the
temperature of a Manual Cycle by pressing
TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Dryness Level with Manual
Cycles.
Status Lights
You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status
indicator lights.
Sensing
When a cycle is first turned on, the SENSING light glows until a
wet item is detected.
In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected
within 10 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the dryer
will shut down.
In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
10 minutes the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle
continues.
Wet
The WET light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in
the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:
The damp dry point is reached in an Automatic Cycle.
The dryer enters the cool down period in a Manual Cycle.
Damp
The DAMP light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry
level.
NOTE: The Damp light is not used with manual cycles.
Cool Down
The COOL DOWN light glows during the cool down part of the
cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling.
Cycle Complete
This light glows when a drying cycle is finished. If the WRINKLE
SHIELD feature has been selected, the WRINKLE SHIELD
feature indicator light will also be on.
The Cycle Complete light turns off one hour after the end of a
drying cycle (including the WRINKLE SHIELD cycle of 2 hours),
when Pause/Cancel is pressed, or when the door is opened.
WRINKLE SHIELD Feature
The WRINKLE SHIELD feature light glows when this option is
selected. This indicator stays on with the Cycle Complete light.
Control Locked
The CONTROL LOCKED light glows when this option is enabled.
Indicator lights
Other indicator lights on the control panel show Cycle, Temper-
ature, and End of Cycle settings selected.
The time display will indicate the estimated or actual time
remaining in a cycle.
