Drum Light Option On some models, select Drum Light to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or the door is left open for 5 minutes. When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when DRUM LIGHT is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will remain on until the dryer door has been open for 5 minutes, the dryer door is closed or DRUM LIGHT is pressed again. Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF. WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting Option The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting helps keep wrinkles from forming when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles again for a brief period. ■ Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. ■ Stop the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting at any time by pressing WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting or opening the dryer door. ■ For the Perm Press/Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is preset to ON. The other Automatic Cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. For example, if you select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle. NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, the dryer stops after cool down. Damp Dry Signal Option Select the Damp Dry Signal to alert you that your clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing. The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the drying process. NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic Cycles. End of Cycle Signal Option The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling. Press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) is selected. NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, a tone sounds every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting ends. Status Lights Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights. Sensing ■ In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet item is detected. ■ In the Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the beginning of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle. Wet The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of an Automatic Cycle if a wet item is detected. ■ In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting indicators illuminate, if selected. ■ In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected.

The Wet light illuminates until the dryer goes into Cool Down with 1 minute of time remaining. Damp The Damp light illuminates in an Automatic Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry. Damp Dry Signal beeps, if selected. See "Options." Cool Down The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.
