CYCLE STATUS INDICATORS Appearance may vary The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. Not all indicators are available on all models. Sensing The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent. Check Vent This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer's life. During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. The light will be cleared when selecting a new cycle, touching POWER, or opening the door after the cycle has completed. This feature is available during Sensor and Steam cycles only. For more information on maintaining good airflow, see "Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow". NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See "Troubleshooting" section. Good Airflow This indicator will light if there is no major vent blockage. Steaming This indicator will light when a steam function is active. NOTE: Steam is not available on all cycles. Done This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if the Done indicator is lit. Check Lint Screen The Check Lint Screen indicator will light when the drying cycle is complete as a reminder to clean the lint screen. ADDITIONAL FEATURES USING THE DRYING RACK To purchase a drying rack for your dryer, order by calling 1-877-944-7566. You will need your model and serial number and the purchase date. Remove and discard any packing material before use. Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the rack remains stationary. The drying rack is intended for use with the Timed Dry cycle only. The drying rack cannot be used with Sensor cycles. To use the drying rack: IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen. 1. Open dryer door. 2. Align the two hooks on the front of the drying rack with the holes in the dryer door opening and press down fully into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back ledge. 3. Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave adequate clearance between items and the inside of the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the edges or between drying rack grille. 4. Close the door. 5. Select a Timed Dry/Air Only/Air Dry, or Low Temperature cycle. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using the Air Only setting or Air Dry cycle, depending on model. 6. When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the default time. You can change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or decreasing the cycle time. 7. Start the dryer. NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint accumulated from items dried on the drying rack after the cycle is finished. 12
