Cycle tips • Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings. • Refer to the Sensor, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads. Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose a Sensor Dry Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, I_ess, or Damp. The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting; howevei; you may select an alternate drying temperature by pressing TEMP I_EVEL Once selected, the new heat setting will be retained until reset to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not allow an alternate temp to be selected. • If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press TIME ADJUST + (plus) or - (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP I.EVEI. until the desired temperature is selected. NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles. star L g ts Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights. wet damp cool down dry wrinkle steam prevent Wet The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Cycle if a wet item is detected. • In a Sensor Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Coo[ Down.

See the following Sensor Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. An alternate temperature is se[ectab[e for all cycles with the exception of the Delicate and Bulky by pressing the TEMP I.EVEI. button. Bulky Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters, and cotton or polyester fiber filled pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp Dry signal sounds. This step will aid in the drying process. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to get regular heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans. Normal Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets. Wrinkle Control Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business clothes, and permanent press blends.
