CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES Not all features and cycles are available on all models. NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name. 4 2 1 5 6 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 Power Dry, 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. 6 3 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. Energy Saver will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect this time. Energy Saver is only available 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. 5 OPTIONS Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. My Cycle If you have a favorite cycle with custom settings that you use frequently, you can use the My Cycle feature to keep your preferred settings ready to use. To save the cycle press and hold MY CYCLE (approximately 3 seconds) until a beep sounds and the letters "SET" are displayed on your machine. When selecting My Cycle refer to the LCD display for additional options and settings. 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.
