Control Lock/Unlock 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 CONTROL LOCK/UNLOCK button for 3 seconds. The control is locked when a single beep is heard and the Control Lock status light is on. ■ When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control On button before activating the Control Lock feature. To unlock: Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK/UNLOCK button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off. NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Lock is on, the dryer can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but cannot be restarted until the control is unlocked. Changing Cycles, Options, and Modifiers You can change Auto Cycles, Timed Cycles, Options, and Modifier, and 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. This ends the current cycle. 2. Select the desired cycle and options. 3. Press and hold 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 Options and Modifiers 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 Modifier. 3. Press and hold 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 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. Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level), 2 (slightly drier clothes, approximately 15% more drying time), and 3 (much drier clothes, approximately 30% more drying time). 1. The Dryness Level settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running. 2. Press and hold the Dryness Level button for 5 seconds. The dryer will beep, and "CF" will be displayed for 1 second followed by the current drying setting. 3. To select a new drying setting, press the Dryness Level key again until the desired drying setting is shown. NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting will not flash, but the other settings will flash. 4. Press START to save the drying setting. 5. The drying setting you selected will become your new preset drying setting for all Auto Dry cycles. 9
