CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
POWER
Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel
a cycle at any time.
WHAT TO DRY/HOW TO DRY
Once a “What to Dry” is selected, the dryer automatically
selects the recommended or last-used “How to Dry”
option, as well as the recommended/last-used modiers.
Both the “How to Dry” and modiers can be changed if
desired. See the “Cycle Guide” for details.
START/PAUSE
Touch and hold until LED counts down “3-2-1” and the
dryer starts; then let go to start a cycle, or touch once
while a cycle is in process to pause it.
MODIFIERS
Use to select available modiers for your dryer. Not all
cycles and options are available on all models.
Temp
When using Timed Dry/Quick Cycle, you may select
a dry temperature based on the type of load you are
drying. Use the warmest setting that is safe for the
garments in the load. Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Automatic Cycles will give you up to four
temperatures to adjust, depending on the model and
the “What to Dry” or “How to Dry” selections that have
been made.
Dryness
You may adjust the Dryness on Automatic Cycles
(except for the Sanitize cycle), if desired.
NOTE: Dryness is for use with Automatic Cycles only.

More Time/Less Time Timed Dry Adjust

cycles and options are available on all models.
Wrinkle Shield
™
Option
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately,
touch WRINKLE SHIELD™ to add up to 150 minutes
of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. You
may select the “+ Steam” setting (on some models)
to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help
smooth out wrinkles.
NOTE: If you open the dryer door prior to the end
of the Wrinkle Shield™ option, the dryer will go into
standby.
Steam Refresh (steam models only)
This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors
from dry items. Cycle time will increase, depending
on number of items. This is an independent cycle that
cannot be combined with any other cycle.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to turn the signal indicating the end
of a drying cycle to low, medium, high, or off. The
volume you select here will also be applied to the
Damp Dry Signal.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound
when a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch
and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds to turn
sounds to low, medium, high, or off.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your nger. To ensure your selections are

appropriate button.
