• Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling. Cycle tips • Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings. • Refer to the Auto, Timed or SteamCare Cycles Preset Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads. • Drying temperature and Dryness Level are preset when you choose an Auto Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness Level and choosing More Dry, Normal or Less Dry. NOTE: You cannot use the Timed Cycle Adjust and you cannot modify temperature with the Auto Cycles. • If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press More Time or Less Time. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature is selected. NOTE: You cannot use the Dryness Level with Timed or SteamCare Cycles.

The Cool Down and WRINKLE GUARD ® indicators will glow green, if selected. • In a Timed Cycle, the Wet light will glow green after 5 minutes and remain on until the dryer enters Cool Down. • In a Steam Cycle, the Wet status light will glow green when the water is being dispensed onto the load. Damp The Damp light glows green in an Auto Cycle when the laundry is 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. To be alerted when the load is about 80% dry, you may use the damp dry signal option. See Damp Dry Signal in "Options." The Damp light glows green in a Steam Cycle after water is dispensed onto the load. Cool Down The Cool Down light glows green during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling. Auto Cycles Auto Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Auto Dry 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. Normal Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets. Jeans Use this cycle to get medium high heat for drying denims. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cotton towels or bedspreads. Casual 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. 22
