Operating instructions E Settings Individual settings for Timed Dry cycle minutes (Time), dryness level (Level), and temperature (Temp) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). In general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used. Time - Selection only for Timed cycles. Each "setting" allows you to specify a lower (1 tap) or an upper (2 taps) time working your way from a minimum 10 minute to a maximum 99 minute dry time (10, 20, 30, 40, . . . 80, 90, 99, 10 . . .) Dryness Level - Selection only used for Sensor cycles. Timed cycles run for the selected time. More Dry Use for heavy-duty or mixed type fabrics. Dry Use for a normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy savings. Less Dry Use for lighter fabrics. Damp For leaving items partially damp. Temperature High For regular to heavy cottons. NOTE: Steam Dewrinkle and Steam Refresh require the High temperature setting. Medium For synthetics, blends, delicates and items labeled permanent press. Low For delicates, synthetics and items labeled tumble dry low. Extra Low For delicates, synthetics and items labeled tumble dry low. F Options Delay Dry As the Delay Dry button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time sets to from 1 to 9 hours, and back to clear (0). After selecting the delay time, press Start and the delay time will count down the time remaining until the cycle starts. If the Delay Dry button is pressed for 3 seconds, it clears (regardless of the delay time) or terminates a delaying cycle. Extended Tumble Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides 1 hour of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are dry. If you are using the Variable Signal and you select the Extended Tumble option, a signal will sound at the end of the drying time and every 5 minutes during the Extended Tumble cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes. eDry Available for Bulky Items, Towels/Sheets, Cottons, Normal/Mixed LoadsJeans, Casuals/Permanent Press, Active Wear, and Delicates. When the eDry button is pressed, cycle settings change to reduce the total energy consumption of the selected sensor cycle. NOTE: Cycle times will change when eDry is selected. The eMonitor lights display the relative energy use of your selected cycle and options. They are provided as an energy guide and range from Good (1 light) to Better (5 lights). Cycle (time), dryness level, temperature, and additional tumble options can increase or decrease your energy efficiency. Some special cycles will not provide a display. 6

the
Variable
Signal
and you select the
Extended Tumble
option, a signal will sound at the end of the drying time and every 5 minutes
