DRYER USE
Starting Your Dryer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to 
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before 
operating this appliance.
This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not 
have all of the cycles and features described.
The following is a guide to starting your dryer. Please refer to 
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
1. Clean lint screen before each load. See “Cleaning the Lint 
Screen.”
2. Place laundry in dryer and shut door.
3. Press the POWER button then rotate the dial to select either 
an Automatic or Manual Cycle. The preset settings and drying 
time for the cycle chosen will be displayed.
NOTE: A default time is displayed when an Automatic Cycle 
is selected. During the first few minutes of the drying process, 
the cycle time may automatically vary from the default time 
based on the size and fabric type of the load. Toward the end 
of the drying process, the estimated time display will adjust 
again, showing the final drying time.
To use an Automatic Cycle
NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the 
feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is 
selectable. The light will not glow when the selection is 
unavailable with the cycle or option combinations selected.
Press the POWER button.
Rotate the dial to select an Automatic Cycle.
Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the 
load to be. As the cycle runs, the control senses the 
dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for 
the selected Dryness Level.
NOTE: Most loads may be dried using Normal, which is 
shown in boldface type on your control panel. Normal is the 
energy preferred dryness level and will use the least energy.
The default dryness setting is Normal when an Auto Dry 
Cycle is selected. You can select a different dryness level, 
depending on your load, by pressing DRYNESS LEVEL 
and choosing More, Normal or Less. Selecting More, 
Normal or Less automatically adjusts the dryness level at 
which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness level is set, it 
cannot be changed without stopping the cycle. 
The Dryness Level can be changed only with Automatic 
Cycles.
Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature button if this 
option is desired.
Press the CYCLE SIGNAL button to set end of cycle 
signal volume to desired level.
Press the DAMP DRY CYCLE SIGNAL button to set damp 
dry signal volume to desired level.
