5. Adjust cycle settings, if desired 7. T ouch and hold START/PAUSE to begin cycle Appearance may vary. You may adjust different settings, depending on whether you have selected a Sensor Cycle, Timed Cycle, or Steam Cycle (on some models). See the "Cycle Guide" for detailed information. NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles. Not all cycles are on all models. Sensor Cycles: You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load. Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to scroll to More, Normal, or Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle. Sensor cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting. Drying time is estimated and may change throughout the cycle. Drying time can not be changed on Sensor Cycles. NOTE: Sensor Cycles use a preset temperature that is not adjustable. Timed Cycles: When you select a Timed Cycle, the time appears in the display. Touch + and - to increase or decrease the time in 1-minute increments. Touch and hold to change the time in 5-minute increments. The temperature may be changed by touching Temperature until the desired dry temperature is lit. Once a cycle has started, the temperature can be changed after first pausing the cycle. Steam Cycles (on some models): Select Refresh to reduce odors and light wrinkles in dry loads. Do not add dryer sheets. Cycle time is estimated and may change throughout the cycle. Cycle time can not be changed on Steam Cycles. 6. Select any additional options Appearance may vary. The display will show the settings for the selected cycle. To adjust a setting, touch its name - Reduce Static, Steam Boost, or Damp Dry Signal. NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles. Touch and hold START/PAUSE to begin the cycle. 8. Remove garments promptly after cycle is finished Appearance may vary. Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to reduce wrinkling. Changing the Sensor Cycle settings to increase drying time If all your loads on all Sensor Cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase the default dryness level. Your sensor drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your Sensor cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display: 01 Factory preset dryness level. 02 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time. 03 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time. 04 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time. 05 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time. To change the drying settings: NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (power is off) to adjust the default settings. 1. Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS LEVEL for 6 seconds. 2. Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to select the dryness level shown in the time display: 01, 02, 03, 04 or 05. 3. Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting. 11
