33 CONTROLS AND SETTINGS 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 energy efficiency rating is based on the Normal Cycle using the Normal temperature setting and the normal dryness level. Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat save the most energy and display the leaf icon on the console. 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. sensors may not detect enough moisture to Turn the cycle selector in either direction continue the cycle and the cycle may end or repeatedly press the cycles button after a few minutes. If this occurs, then select (depending on your model) to scroll to the the time dry cycle to dry such loads. 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 Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time. displayed on the LED display screen. Default settings and options will automatically NOTE 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. 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 To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel button before selecting a new cycle. Turning the cycle selector ring or pressing the cycles button WILL NOT change the cycle. display will show 2 circling lines. When the sensing is complete, the LED display will show the remaining cycle time in minutes and accurately count down to the end of 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. Timed dry cycles The timed drying cycles allow the selection of exact drying times. The time dry cycle allows the option to select drying time settings ranging from 30 to 75 minutes (depending on the model). Various drying times and temperature settings can be selected when using this cycle. 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. The fast dry cycles (on select models) have preset times of 15, 18 or 20 minutes (dependent on model) with a preset temperature of high only. Dryness levels will not be an available option when using either of the timed drying cycles. 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 WARNING FIRE HAZARD To avoid fire hazard, DO NOT use heat to dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials. Use the time dry cycle and the eco dry (no heat) setting.
