Stains on load or drum

■

Was dryer fabric softener properly used?

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can

stain your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

■

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with
water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and synthetic
garments.

NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.

■

Loads are still wrinkled following Steam Cycle?

Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.

■

Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

Odors

■

Have you recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in
the area where your dryer is located?

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

■

Is water connected to the dryer?

Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet

and dryer’s water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is
turned on.

■

To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Quick
Refresh for small loads of 1-4 garments. This cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-
free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and
synthetics.

Changing the Automatic Cycle Default Settings

IMPORTANT: Your dryness level settings can be adjusted to
adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or
personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of
your Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load.
If all your loads on all Automatic cycles are consistently not as dry
as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase
the default dryness level.
Your default drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different
installations, environmental conditions or personal preference.
There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the time
display:

1. Factory preset dryness level.
2. Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
3. Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

To change the default drying settings:

NOTE: The default settings cannot be changed while the dryer is
running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode to adjust
the default settings.
1. Press and hold the TEMP button for at least 6 seconds. The

dryer will beep, the letters “CF” will flash briefly in the display,
then the current drying mode will be displayed.

2. To select a new drying setting, press the TEMP button again

until the desired drying setting is shown.

NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting
will be lit solid, but the other settings will flash.

3. Press the START/PAUSE button to save the drying setting and

exit to standby mode.

NOTE: To exit without saving, press the POWER button.

4. The drying setting you selected will become your new preset

drying setting for all Automatic cycles.
