1 POWER/CANCEL Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time. 2 CYCLE CONTROL KNOB Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. Sensor Cycles are Heavy Duty, Normal, Delicates, Sanitize (on some models), Bedding (on some models), and Wrinkle Control (on some models). Timed Cycles are Timed Dry and Rapid Dry. The Steam Cycle (on some models) is Refresh. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles. 3 START/PAUSE Touch and hold until the LED comes on to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. 4 LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS When you select a cycle, its settings will light up and the Estimated Cycle Time (for Sensor Cycles) or actual time remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed. On 2-digit displays, for times longer than 99 minutes, hours will be displayed followed by minutes. See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles. -/+ (Timed Dry Adjust) Touch "+" or "-" with Timed Cycles to increase or decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid Dry cycle. Temperature When using Timed Cycles or Refresh, you may select a dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying. Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions. NOTE: Sensor Cycles use a preset temperature that is not adjustable. Dryness Level When using Sensor Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), you may select a Dryness Level based on the type of load you are drying. NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Sensor Cycles only. Wrinkle Prevent If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 140 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you may select the "With Steam" setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles. Energy Saver Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. For automatic cycles, Energy Saver will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect this time. Energy Saver will default on for Normal. For optimal energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For optimal time, turn off the Energy Saver option. NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads and cycles. 5 OPTIONS Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Drum Light Touch to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off automatically after about 5 minutes. Reduce Static Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected Sensor cycles (see "Cycle Guide"). The dryer will automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option adds approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time. Steam Boost Steam Boost adds steam to the end of the Heavy Duty, Bedding, or Normal cycle to help smooth wrinkles. Steam Boost can be used with High or Medium heat settings. This option adds approximately 15 minutes to the total cycle time. Wrinkle Prevent If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 140 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you may select the "With Steam" setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles. Damp Dry Signal Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal. When selected, a series of beeps will sound when the load is damp, but not completely dry. This will allow you to take clothes out of the load that do not need to dry completely. This option is available on Heavy Duty, Normal, Wrinkle Control, Bedding, and Delicates cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is selected as a default for the Bedding cycle, as a reminder to manually reposition bedding loads midway through the cycle. Cycle Signal Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying cycle on or off. NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold Cycle Signal for about one second to turn sounds on or off. Control Lock Use to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid an accidental change in cycle options or preferences during a drying cycle. Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time, the LED Display will count down 3-2-1. Once the controls are locked, the LED Display will display "Lc" or "Loc." NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds. 6 CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS The indicator bar on the right side of the control will let you know what stage of the drying cycle is in process. For more information on each stage, see "Cycle Status Indicators." 7
