Wrinkle Prevent

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch 

Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 140 minutes of periodic 

tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you 

may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam 

cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.
Energy Saver

Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows 

you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly 

lower heat level. Energy Saver will increase drying times  

by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect  

this time. 
Energy Saver is only available for Normal. For optimal 

energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For optimal time, 

turn off the Energy Saver option.
NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads.

OPTIONS 

Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles 

and options are available on all models.

My Cycle

If you have a favorite cycle with custom settings that you 

use frequently, you can use the My Cycle feature to keep 

your preferred settings ready to use. To save the cycle 

press and hold MY CYCLE (approximately 3 seconds) 

until a beep sounds and the letters “SET” are displayed on 

your machine. When selecting My Cycle refer to the LCD 

display for additional options and settings.
Drum Light

Touch to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light  

will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off  

automatically after about 5 minutes. 
Reduce Static

Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected  

Sensor cycles (see “Cycle Guide”). The dryer will  

automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount 

of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option 

adds approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.
