Cycle selection For optimum drying results your dryer offers several cycle groups and additional options. Automatic cycles include Regular/Cotton and Permanent press. Cycle selection is based in part on the laundry fabric type. These cycles are controlled via moisture sensors. Cycle time is determined by the measured degree of moisture in the laundry and on the degree of dryness selected (e.g. Damp dry, Regular Dry, Extra Dry). Time cycles run for a length of time specified by the user. The Air fluff/No heat timed cycle uses ambient air (room temperature) without adding heat and runs for approximately 20 minutes, depending on the specific dryer model. Special cycles are custom designed for specific types of fabric such as wool or jeans. Wool or woolen products should only be dried using the dryer rack. Steam cycles are best suited for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors. These cycles should be used with loads consisting of three to four items made of wrinkle free cotton, cotton/polyester blend, cotton knit pullovers or synthetics. Steam programs are available only on select models. During Steam cycles a small amount of water is sprayed into the drum while tumbling the laundry load with heat. This process is repeated, followed by additional tumbling and a brief cool down period. The heat level and time are preset for these cycles. Note: Results may vary with fabric type. Garments that are 100% cotton and have wrinkle-resistant finish may give better results. If the nozzle stops spraying during one of the Steam cycles (symptoms would be water is not seen spraying into drum, clothes are less wrinkle-free than they customarily are with this function) check to be sure the nozzle is not clogged. Lint may accumulate to block the nozzle tip or hard water may cause buildup on the nozzle (see page 29). Option Buttons Delicates Press the "Delicates" button for temperature sensitive textiles. Observe the care information or symbols on the textiles. The temperature of the drying process is reduced and the drying time is extended by using this option. 22 ECO Action Your dryer has an energy savings" ECO option. This option is used only with cotton and permanent press automatic cycles. Less heat is applied, and drying time is extended. Press the option button prior to starting an automatic program. i The length of the ECO cycle is affected by the load size, textile type and climatic conditions. i Combining with the Delicates" button can produce even more savings. Signal 300 and 500 Series Dryers Your dryer outputs an audible beeping signal to alert the user of certain events. Enable the signal by pressing the Delicates" and the ECO Action" option buttons simultaneously. To disable the signal, press both option buttons (again pressing both at the same time). Each press of the two option buttons together toggles the Signal on or off. It is not necessary to hold the buttons in after pressing them. The signal emitted will vary according to the following table. Signal Start End Incorrect Selection Warning of malfunction Type Short tone Sequence of short tones Sequence of long tones Sequence of long tones i The signal Warning of malfunction" is active regardless of whether or not the signal has been disabled.
