6
OPTIONS
Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all
cycles and options are available on all models.
Static Reduce (on some models)
Touch to add the Static Reduce option to selected
Automatic cycles. The dryer will automatically tumble,
pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture
into the load to help reduce static. This option adds
approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.
End Beep
Use this to turn the signal indicating the end
of a drying cycle to low, medium, high, or off.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound
when a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch
and hold End Beep for about three seconds to turn
sounds to low, medium, high, or off.
Damp Beep
Touch to select the Damp Beep signal. You may
adjust the signal to low, medium, high, or off. When
selected, a series of beeps will sound when the load
is damp, but not completely dry. This will allow you to
take clothes out of the load that do not need to dry
completely. This option is available on some cycles.
The Damp Beep signal is selected as a default for
the Bulky/Sheets cycle, as a reminder to manually
reposition bulky loads midway through the cycle.
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
Pause mode. You will need to touch Power to turn
off or touch Start/Pause to continue Wrinkle Shield
™
option.
EcoBoost
™
Option
Touch to activate the EcoBoost
™
option, which
allows you to increase your energy savings by using
a slightly lower heat level. This will increase dry
times. EcoBoost
™
option will default on for Mixed
Normal. Can be selected for: Mixed Gentle, Casual
Normal, Casual Gentle, Delicate Normal, and Delicate
Gentle. It will be not available for the other cycles.
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.

dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The “What to Dry”
“How to Dry” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:
First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your “What to Dry” selection. Then determine
how you want the dryer to dry them by selecting the appropriate “How to Dry” selection.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automatic cycles. These cycles measure the drying
air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer performance and
results may vary with service voltage less than 240.
For best fabric care, choose the cycle that
best ts the load being dried.
