Air Dry Use the Air Dry temperature setting with Timed Cycles for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Dry. Type of Load Est. Time* (Minutes) Foam rubber - pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys 20 - 30 Plastic - shower curtains, tablecloths 20 - 30 Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50 Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon 10 - 20 *Reset time to complete drying, if needed. When using Air Dry: ■ Check that coverings are securely stitched. ■ Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle. ■ Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry. NOTE: Automatic Cycles are not available when using the Air Dry setting. Additional Features Steam Control Lock Sensing Wet Damp Cool Down Done Wrinkle Shield Sensing/Estimated Time Remaining ■ 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. NOTE: Moisture sensing strips in the dryer measure the amount of moisture in the clothes. The estimated time display may adjust to show a more accurate drying time. 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 dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate. ■ In the Enhanced Touch Up or the Quick Refresh Steam Cycles, the Wet light comes on after the water has been sprayed into the drum, 4-5 minutes into the cycle. The Wet light illuminates until the dryer goes into Cool Down with 1 minute of time remaining. Damp Dry Signal On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected 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. Cool Down The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling. Done The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) setting. WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) Feature When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming. ■ Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) button to turn ON or OFF at any time before the cycle has ended. ■ The WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) feature is preset to "OFF." If selected for other cycles, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) feature setting will remain "ON" the next time that cycle is selected. Signal The Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Press the SIGNAL button to turn On or Off at any time before the cycle has ended. NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) feature is selected and the Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every 20 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ (90) feature is finished. Indicator Lights Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options, and Signal settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time remaining. Control Lock This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation. To enable the Control Lock feature when dryer is running: Press and hold the SIGNAL button for 3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control Lock status light is on. To enable the Control Lock feature when dryer is OFF: When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the POWER button before activating the Control Lock feature. 7
