CONTROL PANEL Not all features and options are available on all models. Appearance may vary. Cycle Selector (Timer) Control Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry The Automatic Dry cycle takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care. The Automatic Dry cycle may be used for most loads. The Cycle Selector (Timer) control may be set to ENERGY PREFERRED, which is good for most fabrics. At the end of the cycle, you may check the dryness of the load. ■■ If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load. ■■ If the load is not as dry as you want, select a Timed cycle to complete drying and the next time you dry a similar load, choose a setting closer to More Dry. Drying time with an automatic cycle varies according to the type of fabric, size of load, and temperature setting. On some models, the temperature is included in the cycle selections. WRINKLE PREVENT (on some models) The WRINKLE PREVENT features will run after your drying cycle is complete. It periodically starts and stops the dryer, tumbling the load without heat to help avoid wrinkling. On some models, WRINKLE PREVENT automatically starts at the end of the cycle. Opening the door will stop this feature. On other models, you can set the WRINKLE PREVENT selector knob to ON or choose the amount of time the feature runs. NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the WRINKLE PREVENT setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle signal is also selected. Timed Dry On some models, temperature is included in the cycle selections. On models with a selectable temperature knob, you may choose a setting based on the fabrics in your load. Drying time and temperature will depend on your dryer model. Temperature Control (on some models) You may select a drying temperature based on the fabrics in your load. If you are unsure of the temperature to select for a load, select the lower setting rather than the higher setting. Temperature Tips If your dryer has multiple heat settings: ■■ A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes. ■■ A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying mediumweight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, lingerie, and some knits. ■■ An Ex-Low heat setting may be used for drying lightweight items such as lingerie. ■■ Use a no heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics. ■■ Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics. NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions. End of Cycle Signal (on some models) The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On some models, the End of Cycle Signal is fixed. On other models, the End of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound only if set to On. If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off. 4
