Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel  

a cycle at any time.  

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. 

Automatic Cycles are Heavy Duty, Normal, Bulky, Casual, 

Delicates, and Towels. Manual Cycles are Quick Dry and 

Timed Dry. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of 

cycles.

Touch and hold until the LED comes on to start a cycle,  

or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

When you select a cycle, its settings will light up and the 

Estimated Time Remaining (for Automatic Cycles) or actual 

time remaining (for Manual Cycles) will be displayed. On 

2-digit displays, for times longer than 99 minutes, hours 

will be displayed followed by minutes.
See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. 

Not all settings are available with all cycles.

The indicators at the top of the display will let you  

know what stage of the drying cycle is in process.  

For more information on each stage, see “Cycle  

Status Indicators.”
–/+ (Adjust Drying Time)

Touch “+” or “–” with Manual Cycles to increase or 

decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Quick Dry cycle. 
Temp

When using Manual Cycles, you may select a dry 

temperature based on the type of load you are drying. 

Use the warmest setting safe for the items in the load. 

Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Automatic Cycles use a preset temperature that 

is not adjustable. 
Dryness Level

When using Automatic Cycles, you may select a 

Dryness Level based on the type of load you are  

drying.
NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Automatic  

Cycles only. 

Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal. 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 Heavy Duty, 

Normal, Bulky, Casual, Delicates, and Towels cycles. 

The Damp Dry Signal is selected as a default for the 

Bulky cycle, as a reminder to manually reposition 

bulky loads midway through the cycle.
Wrinkle Shield

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.

Reminds you to clean the HybridCare™ filter after every  

5th cycle. Light will reset after filter is cleaned and filter  

is put back in cabinet.

Use to select an available mode for your  

dryer. Your HybridCare™ dryer is more  

efficient in all modes than your typical dryer.

Select this option to save time, but uses more  

energy.
Balanced

Use this option to blend between cycle time and 

energy savings.
Eco

Eco is the default option for all cycles, which 

allows you to increase your energy savings by 

using a lower heat level. This will increase dry 

times.  
NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads  

and cycles.
