time before the cycle has ended.

The Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the  

drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the

or off) is selected.

Shield™ setting ends.

Selecting the Damp Dry Signal will alert you when your 

clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful when  

you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to 

avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may  

need ironing.

Lights indicate the progress of the drying cycles.

Not all features and options are available on all models.
