Changing the Automatic Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying time If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may change the default settings to increase or decrease the default dryness level. Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display: 0 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time. 1 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time. 2 Factory preset dryness level. 3 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time. 4 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS for 6 seconds. 2. Touch DRYNESS to select the dryness level shown in the time display: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. 3. Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting. Additional Features USING THE DRYING RACK To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, order by calling 1-877-944-7566.
