About the dryer control panel. Dry Cycles The dry cycle controls the cycle time for the drying process. The chart below will help you match the dry setting with the loads. 2 Sensor Cycles COTTONS NORMAL/ MIXED LOAD WRINKLE FREE ACTIVE WEAR DELICATES SPEED DRY For cottons and most linens. For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends. For wrinkle-free/easy care and permanent press items. Clothing worn for active sports exercise and some casual wear. Fabrics include new technology finishes and stretch fibers such as Spandex. For lingerie and special-care fabrics. For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sports or school uniforms. Can also be used if the previous cycle left some items damp, such as collars or waistbands. Timed Dry Cycles STEAM REFRESH (onsomemodels) For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on 1-5 garments. Selecting a higher number of garments for the cycle (e.g., selecting 5-garment load for a 1-garment load) may result in excessive wetting of clothes. After the STEAM REFRESH Cycle, the unit will beep and display "Garments Ready" and "0:00." If the unit is not turned off or if the door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, it will display "0:00" and "Cycle Complete." NOTE: When STEAM REFRESH is selected, "EXTENDED TUMBLE" will automatically turn on and cannot be turned off. A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included in the steam refresh cycle to achieve optimum results. DEWRINKLE For removing wrinkles from items that are dry or slightly damp. This cycle is not reccomended for delicate (onsomemodels) fabrics. STEAM DEWRINKLE (onsomemodels) For use with larger loads than STEAM REFRESH. Ideal for loads left in dryer for an extended time. Selecting a larger cycle than needed (e.g., selecting Large Load for a half-full dryer) may result in excessive wetting of clothes. WARM UP Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes. My Cycle (onsomemodels) MY CYCLE Press to use, create or modify custom dry cycles. Timed Dry 3 Use to set your own dry time. TIMED DRy is also recommended for small loads. To use TIMED DRy: 1. Turn dry cycle dial to TIMED DRy. 2. Select the drying time by pressing the ▲ and ▼ buttons. You can increase the time in 10-minute increments up to 2 hours, 5 minutes. 3. Select the DRy TEMP. 4. Close the door. 5. Press START/PAUSE. Sensor Dry 4 The sensor continuously monitors the amount of moisture in the load. When the moisture in your clothes reaches your selected dry level, the dryer will stop. EXTRA DRY Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels. MORE DRY Use for heavy or mixed type of fabrics. DRY Use for normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy saving. LESS DRY Use for lighter fabric (ideal for ironing). DAMP For leaving items partially damp. 6
