CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES Not all features and cycles are available on all models. 1 2 4 6 7 3 5 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. 1 POWER Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time. 2 CYCLE CONTROL KNOB Use your dryer's cycle control knob to select available cycles on your dryer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles. 3 START/PAUSE Touch and hold to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. 4 TIMED DRY ADJUST Use "+" and "-" with Timed Cycles to increase or decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid Dry cycle. 5 LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Sensor Cycles) or actual time remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed. Touch the setting names next to the display to adjust settings. See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles. Temperature When using Timed Cycles, 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 allow temperature adjustment. At most, 3 of available temperatures (not including Air Only) are allowed. Dry Level You may adjust the Dry Level on Sensor Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired. 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 either 60 or 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. 6 OPTIONS Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Drum Light Select DRUM LIGHT to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. When touched during a cycle, or when the dryer is not running, the Drum Light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is touched again, the door is opened and closed, a cycle is started, or the door is left open for 5 minutes. Touch DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light on or off. Damp Dry Signal Touch to set the Damp Dry Signal to ON or OFF. When selected, a series of beeps will sound when the load is damp but not completely dry. This will allow you to remove clothes that do not need to dry completely. This signal can also be used as a signal to rearrange the load when drying bulky items that do not tumble well, such as comforters. This option is not available on Sanitize or the Timed cycles. Audio Level Touch AUDIO LEVEL to change end beep and button sounds simultaneously to Low, High, or Off. 7 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. Sensing The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent. Damp This indicator shows that the load is partially dried and items that you may wish to hang up or iron while still damp may be removed. Cool Down The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling. Done This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if the Done indicator is lit. Check Lint Screen The Check Lint Screen indicator light will flash as a reminder to clean the lint screen. It will flash until the door is opened or a cycle is started. It will turn off when the dryer is turned off. 5
