OPTIONS

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

and options are available on all models.

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.
Steam Boost

Steam Boost adds steam to the end of the Heavy Duty,

Bedding, or Normal cycle to help smooth wrinkles. Steam

Boost can be used with High or Medium heat settings.

This option adds approximately 15 minutes to the total

cycle time.
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.
Damp Dry Signal

Touch to select the Damp Dry Signal. When selected, a

series of beeps will sound when the load is damp, but not

completely dry. This will allow you to take clothes out of

the load that do not need to dry completely. This option

is available on Heavy Duty, Normal, Wrinkle Control,

Bedding, and Delicates cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is

selected as a default for the Bedding cycle, as a reminder

to manually reposition bedding loads midway through the

cycle.
Cycle Signal

Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying

cycle on or off.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when

a feature, setting, or option is touched. Touch and hold

Cycle Signal for about one second to turn sounds on

or off.
Control Lock

Use to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid

an accidental change in cycle options or preferences

during a drying cycle.
Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to lock

or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time, the

LED Display will count down 3-2-1. Once the controls

are locked, the LED Display will display “Lc” or “Loc.”
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when

recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control,

touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

The indicator bar on the right side of the control will let you

know what stage of the drying cycle is in process. For more

information on each stage, see “Cycle Status Indicators.”

POWER/CANCEL

Touch to turn the dryer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel

a cycle at any time.

CYCLE CONTROL KNOB

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. Sensor

Cycles are Heavy Duty, Normal, Delicates, Sanitize (on some

models), Bedding (on some models), and Wrinkle Control

(on some models). Timed Cycles are Timed Dry and Rapid

Dry. The Steam Cycle (on some models) is Refresh. See

“Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/PAUSE

Touch and hold until the LED comes on to start a cycle,

or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its settings will light up and the

Estimated Cycle Time (for Sensor Cycles) or actual time

remaining (for Timed Cycles) will be displayed. On 2-digit

displays, for times longer than 99 minutes, hours will be

displayed followed by minutes.
See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle.

Not all settings are available with all cycles.

–/+ (Timed Dry Adjust)

Touch “+” or “–” with Timed Cycles to increase or

decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid Dry cycle.
Temperature

When using Timed Cycles or Refresh, you may select a

dry temperature based on the type of load you are drying.

Use the warmest setting safe for the garments in the load.

Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Sensor Cycles use a preset temperature that is

not adjustable.
Dryness Level

When using Sensor Cycles (except for the Sanitize cycle),

you may select a Dryness Level based on the type of load

you are drying.
NOTE: Dryness Level is for use with Sensor Cycles only.
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. For automatic cycles, Energy Saver will

increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes; the

LED Display will reflect this time.
Energy Saver will default on 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 and cycles.
