■ Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about 1 second). Once an Automatic cycle has started, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature and cycle signals can be adjusted. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings, allowing you to select another cycle and Dryness Level. NOTE: Time and Temperature are not adjustable for Automatic Cycles. Pressing the DRY TIME or TEMPERATURE buttons will cause a triple beep, indicating that the time cannot be changed. How Automatic Cycles Work The AccelerCare™ function improves drying performance with Auto Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time. The AccelerCare™ feature takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric care. To use a Manual Cycle NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected. ■ Press POWER. ■ Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle. ■ Press the DRY TIME up or down buttons until the desired drying time is displayed. Press DRY TIME, and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold DRY TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. The initial time displayed is the actual drying time. The Dry Time feature can be used only with Manual Cycles. ■ Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature glows green. Temperature settings can be changed only with Manual Cycles. ■ Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button if this option is desired. ■ Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle signal volume to desired level. 18 ■ Press and hold START button until dryer starts (about 1 second).

Drying and Cycle Tips Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Manual Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle. Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level. Drying tips ■ Follow care label directions when they are available. ■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions. ■ Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
