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 Medium heat followed by a brief cooldown. 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. Quick Refresh This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic garments. Enhanced Touch Up This cycle uses water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from items such as clothes packed in a suitcase or wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long. Steam Preset Cycle Settings Timed Cycles Load Type QUICK REFRESH Helps to smooth out wrinkles and reduce odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items. ENHANCED TOUCH UP Helps to smooth out wrinkles in loads left in the dryer for an extended period. Default Temperature* Medium Medium Default Time (Minutes)* 15 20 NOTE: 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. Drum Light 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 open and closed, or the door is left open for 20 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 20 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 OFR WRINKLE SHIELD TM 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 TM feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming. • Press the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature to get up to 140 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. • Stop at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature or opening the dryer door. For the Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature is preset to "ON." The other cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature setting. (For example, if you select the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.) NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period. 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. L00 Soft off Da/lp Dly Signal Press DAMP DRY SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft or Off) glows green. NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic Cycles. 19
