Air Only Use Timed Dry/Air Only temperature setting for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only. Type of Load Est. Time* (Minutes) Foam rubber - pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys 20 - 30 Plastic - shower curtains, tablecloths 20 - 30 Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50 Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon 10 - 20 *Reset time to complete drying, if needed. When using Air Only ■ 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: Automatic Cycles are not available when using the Air Only setting. Steam Cycles In these cycles, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The STEAM Status Light will come on while the water is sprayed into the drum. The dryer will continue to tumble at High heat for the duration of the cycle. The Steam Cycles include Quick Refresh and Enhanced Touch Up. The heat setting and cycle time are not adjustable for the Quick Refresh Cycle, but can be adjusted for the Enhanced Touch Up Cycle. NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes. Steam Preset Cycle Settings Timed Cycles Load Type Default Est. Time* Temperature* (Minutes) QUICK REFRESH Medium 15 Helps to smooth out wrinkles and reduce odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items. ENHANCED TOUCH UP Medium 20 Helps to smooth out wrinkles in loads left in the dryer for an extended period. *The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle has a minimum dry time of 15 minutes and a maximum dry time of 40 minutes. Only the Medium and High temperature settings can be used for the Enhanced Touch Up Cycle. Additional Features Drum Light When pressed during a cycle, the Drum Light turns on and will remain on until pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or the door is left open for 20 minutes. WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming. ■ Get up to 140 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Turn off at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature or opening the dryer door. ■ For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is preset to "ON." The other cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature setting. (The Wrinkle Shield feature is preset to "ON" for the Casual Cycle. If selected for other cycles, it will remain "ON" the next time that cycle is selected.) Damp Dry Signal On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected 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 Automatic Cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is not a selectable option for the Sanitize cycle. Cycle Signal The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Press until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows green. NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is finished. Button Sound You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows green. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly even when the Button Sound volume is set to Off. 8
