1. Cycle selector To select a cycle, rotate the Cycle selector dial to the desired cycle. The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. The ECO NORMAL, NORMAL, HEAVY DUTY, BEDDING, SANITIZE, PERM PRESS, WOOL and DELICATES cycles are Sensor Dry cycles. Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level (Very Dry to Damp Dry) is reached.
CYCLE WRINKLE AWAY 2. DETAILS Shirts, Trouser, Comforter, Pillows (Confirm that the laundry load is dry) This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. Shirts, Trouser, Blouses (Confirm that the laundry load is dry) The WRINKLE AWAY cycle removes wrinkles from clothes stored in closets, etc.
3. Dry Level To select the dry level in the NORMAL, HEAVY DUTY, or other Sensor Dry cycles, press the Dry Level button. An indicator light will illuminate next to the desired dryness level. Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the settings. Larger or bulkier loads may require the Very Dry or More Dry setting for complete dryness. The Less Dry setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the cycle.
Load the dryer properly • • Place only one washload in your dryer at a time. Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently, which may result in lightweight fabrics being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle. Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying. This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
