Air Only Use the Air Only Modifier for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. This table shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only. Type of Load Time* (Minutes) Foam rubber - pillows, padded bras, stuffed toys Plastic - Shower curtains, tablecloths 20 - 30 20 - 30 Rubber-backed rugs 40 - 50 Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon 10 - 20 *Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed. When using Air Only ■ 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: Air Only is not available with Automatic Cycles. Options You can customize your cycles by selecting options. 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. End of Cycle Signal End of Cycle Signal The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling. Press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) is selected. 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 OFF. WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting The WRINKLE SHIELD™ 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™ setting to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle. ■ Stop the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting at any time by pressing WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting or opening the dryer door. ■ For the Perm Press/Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is preset to ON. The other Automatic Cycles will retain the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. For example, if you select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle. NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, the dryer stops after cool down. NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, a tone sounds every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting ends. Changing Cycles, Modifiers, and Options You can change Automatic and Timed Cycles, Modifiers, and Options anytime before pressing Start. ■ Three short tones sound if an unavailable combination is selected. The last selection will not be accepted. Changing Cycles after pressing Start 1. Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice. 2. Select the desired cycle and options. 3. Press START. The dryer starts at the beginning of the new cycle. NOTE: If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the cycle, the dryer automatically shuts off. Changing Modifiers and Options after pressing Start You can change an Option or Modifier anytime before the selected Option or Modifier begins. 1. Press PAUSE/CANCEL once. 2. Select the new Option and/or Modifiers. 3. Press START to continue the cycle. NOTE: If you happen to press PAUSE/CANCEL twice, the program clears and your dryer shuts down. Restart the selection process. Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings If all of your loads on all Auto Dry cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your Auto Dry cycles. 19
