Additional Features
WRINKLE SHIELD™ Feature 
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature helps smooth out wrinkles that 
form when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a 
cycle. During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then 
tumbles again for a brief period.
Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature to get up to 
90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a 
cycle.
During the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, you may continue 
the option after opening and closing the dryer door by 
pushing START.
Cancel at any time by pressing the WRINKLE SHIELD™ 
feature button.
NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, the 
dryer stops after the cool down period.
Temperature
Temperature settings are used with the Manual Cycles. Press 
TEMP ADJUST until the desired temperature setting illuminates. 
Temperature modifiers cannot be used with the Auto Cycles. 
Air Only
Use the Air Only modifier for items that require drying without 
heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart 
shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only.
*Reset time to complete drying, if needed.
When using Air Only
Check that coverings are securely stitched.
Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.
Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.
NOTE: Auto Cycles are not available when you are using the Air 
Only setting.
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the 
drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of 
the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press and release the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL to adjust the 
sound level or turn off the signal.
Hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds to lock or unlock 
this control.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the 
End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every 
5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature is finished.

Drying Rack Option
Use the Drying Rack to dry items such as sweaters and pillows 
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move. 
If your model does not have a drying rack, you may be able to 
purchase one for your model. To find out whether your model 
allows drying rack usage and for more information on ordering, 
please refer to the front page of the manual or contact the dealer 
from whom you purchased your dryer. 
NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not 
use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
