Press the power button to turn on the
unit. Turn the cycle selector in either direc-
tion or repeatedly press the cycles button
(depending on your model) to scroll to the
desired cycle. The indicator light for the
cycle selected will be illuminated and the
estimated drying time for Auto Dry cycles or
the actual drying time for Time Dry cycles
will be displayed on the LED display screen.
Default settings and options will automati-
cally be indicated for the cycle selected. In
most cases cycle settings and options can
be changed. See Cycle Settings, Cycle Op-
tions, and Setting Charts for more details.
To change the cycle once it has begun,
press the cancel button before selecting
a new cycle. Turning the cycle selec-
tor ring or pressing the cycles button
WILL NOT change the cycle.
Auto dry cycles
Auto dry cycles take the guesswork out of
selecting the correct drying time for each
load. Moisture sensors sense the moisture
level of the load as it tumbles through the
heated air. With auto dry cycles, the load
will automatically be dried at the selected
temperature to the desired dryness level.
Auto dry cycles save time and energy and
protect fabrics. When the load has reached
the selected dryness level, it will continue to
tumble, unheated, during a cool down pe-
riod. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes
items easier to handle during unloading.
Controls and Settings
Selecting the right cycle to save energy
This dryer has been specifically designed with options to help you save energy and at
the same time utilize the optimal drying setting for your clothing.
The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for energy efficiency. The
normal cycle defaults to normal temperature setting, normal dryness level
and eco mode option (if available).
Some cycles save more energy than others. Cycles that use the least amount of heat
save the most energy. Use the lowest heat setting (auto and timed dry cycles) and less
dry setting (auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent over drying your clothing.
NOTE
Initial cycle times for auto dry cycles are
only estimates, the actual drying time
may differ slightly from the time displayed.
Cycle selection
Drying times vary depending on size and
dampness of the load and fabric type. If
the load is too small or almost dry, the
moisture sensors may not detect enough
moisture to continue the cycle and the
cycle may end after a few minutes. If this
NOTE
Models equipped with the Predictive Dry
feature use the first 90 seconds of Auto
Dry cycles to sense the load in the dryer.
During this 90 second period the LED
display will show 3 dots cycling one to
the next. When the sensing is complete,
the LED display will show the remaining
cycle time in minutes and accurately count
down to the end of the cycle. If the LED
display shows 3 dots ( )cycling
one to the next after the laundry cycle
is complete, then the appliance is

minutes for the update to be complete.
occurs, then select the time dry cycle to
dry such loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of
installation and electrical voltage or gas
pressure can also affect drying time.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
To avoid fire hazard, DO NOT use heat
to dry items containing feathers or down,
foam rubber, plastics similarly textured,
rubber-like materials. Use the time dry
cycle and the air dry (no heat) setting.
Timed dry cycles
The timed drying cycles allow the selection
of exact drying times. The time dry cycle
allows the option to select drying time
settings ranging from 30 to 75 minutes
(depending on the model). Various drying
times and temperature settings can be
selected when using this cycle.
The fast dry cycles (on select models)
have preset times of 15, 18 or 20 minutes
(dependent on model) with a preset tem-
perature of high only.
Dryness levels will not be an available option
when using either of the timed drying cycles.
