Select type of load to dry
First select a cycle from the “What to Dry” (Automatic cycles) and 
then select the “How to Dry” to get the best combination cycle 
available for the type of items you are going to dry. See “Cycle 
Guide” for cycle details. Not all cycles are available on all models.
Automatic Cycles:
You can select a different dryness level, depending on your 
load. Touch DRYNESS to scroll to Less to More. Selecting  
Less to More automatically adjusts the dryness level at which 
the dryer will shut off. Dryness level can be changed in the first  
5-8 minutes of the cycle.
Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying 
time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.
NOTE: Automatic Cycles will give you up to 3 temperatures to 
adjust and it varies, depending on the “What to Dry” or “How 
to Dry” selections that have been made. 
TIMED DRY Cycle:
When you select Timed Dry, the default time appears in the 
display. Touch “+” and “–” to increase or decrease the time in 
1 minute increments. Touch and hold to change the time in 5 
minute increments. 
The default temperature may be changed by pressing 
Temperature until the desired dry temperature is lit.
Steam Refresh Cycles:
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch 
FINISHING TOUCH twice to select Wrinkle Shield™, to add  
up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling.

Changing the Automatic Cycle settings  
to increase or decrease drying time
If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less 
dry or more dry than you would like, you may change the 
default settings to increase or decrease the default dryness 
level.
Your automatic drying 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. There are  
5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:
0  Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time. 
1  Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.
2  Factory preset dryness level.
3  Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
4  Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
To change the drying settings:
NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer  
is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode 
(power is off) to adjust the default settings.
1.  Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS  
for 6 seconds. 
2.  Touch DRYNESS to select the dryness level shown in 
the time display: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. 
3.  Touch and hold START/PAUSE to save the new dryness 
level setting.
