Controls and Settings 31 Cycle selection Selecting the right cycle to save energy This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy and at the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing. The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for energy efficiency. The normal cycle defaults to normal temperature setting, normal dryness level and eco mode option (if available). Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat save the most energy. Use the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and less dry setting (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing. Press the power button to turn on the unit. Turn the cycle selector in either direction or repeatedly press the cycles button (depending on your model) to scroll to the desired cycle. The indicator light for the cycle selected will be illuminated and the estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or the actual drying time for Time Dry cycles will be displayed on the LED display screen. Default settings and options will automatically be indicated for the cycle selected. In most cases cycle settings and options can be changed. See Cycle Settings, Cycle Options, and Setting Charts for more details. To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the cycle selector ring or pressing the cycles button WILL NOT change the cycle. Auto dry cycles Auto dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensors sense the moisture level of the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With auto dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to tumble, unheated, during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading. occurs, then select the time dry cycle to dry such loads. Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time. heavy duty (on select models) Select this cycle to dry durable fabrics such as jeans and overalls. towels (on select models) Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-rubber-backed bath mats. heavy/towels (on select models) Select this cycle to dry heavy loads and durable fabrics such as towels, jeans and overalls. allergen (on select models) Select this cycle where you wish to reduce allergens as you dry your load. Items prone to heat damage are not recommended for this cycle. normal Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons, linens and sheets. activewear (on select models) Select this cycle to dry lightweight synthetic athletic apparel including stretch fabrics. delicates Select this cycle to dry knits and delicates. mixed load (on select models) Select this cycle to dry loads containing a mix of fabrics. NOTE Initial cycle times for auto dry cycles are only estimates, the actual drying time may differ slightly from the time displayed. Drying times vary depending on size and dampness of the load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the moisture sensors may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few minutes. If this NOTE Models equipped with the Predictive Dry feature use the first 90 seconds of Auto Dry cycles to sense the load in the dryer. During this 90 second period the LED display will show 3 dots ( ) cycling one to the next. When the sensing is complete, the LED display will show the remaining cycle time in min- utes and will accurately count down to the end of the cycle.
