• Adjust Dryness. DRYNESS NOTE: Dryness selections can be made only while using Automatic Cycles. Now the AccelerOare TM Drying System Works Moisture-sensing strips inside the dryer drum and temperature sensors in the airstream monitor how fast the load is drying, how hot the air should be and when clothes are dry. The system automatically stops the cycle to help save time and avoid overdrying. To use a Timed Cycle Turn knob to desired Timed Cycle. Press the TIME ADJUST up or down arrows until the desired drying time is displayed. Press the up or down arrows and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold the up or down arrows and the time will change by 5-minute intervals. NOTE: The Time Adjust features can be used only with Timed Cycles. TIME ADJUST • Press TEMP until the desired temperature illuminates. TEMP NOTE: The Temp feature can be used only with Timed Cycles. NOTE: During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temp, WRINKLE SHIELD TM and the End of Cycle Signal. 5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more details, see "Options." 6. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. A signal will sound to alert you when a cycle ends. For more details, see "End of Cycle Signal." 7. Press START. Be sure the door is closed. • If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off. • If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start, press PAUSE/CANCEL twice. To stop or pause your dryer at any time Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once. Press PAUSE/ CANCEL twice to cancel a cycle. To restart the dryer Close the door. Press START until dryer starts. NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted if you close the door and press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer. 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 Timed 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. • To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics. • Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling. Cycle tips • Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings. • Refer to the Automatic or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads. • Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less or Damp. NOTE: You cannot use the Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with the Automatic Cycles. • If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the desired temperature is selected. NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles. Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights. Cool Wrinkle Sensing • In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet item is detected. • In a 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 TM setting indicators illuminate, if selected. 15
