DRUMLIGHT D WRINKLESHIELD DAMPDRY SIGNAL OPTIONS Drum Light 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 OFE WRINKLE SHIELD TM Setting The WRINKLE SHIELD TM 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 TM setting to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. • Stop the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting at any time by pressing WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting or opening the dryer door. For the Perm Press/Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting is preset to ON. The other Automatic Cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting. For example, if you select the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle. NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting, the dryer stops after cool down. Damp Dry Signal 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. 23
