Stop Wrinkle Prevent at any time by pressing WRINKLE 
PREVENT or opening the dryer door.

■

For the Casual cycle, Wrinkle Prevent is preset to ON. 

 

The other cycles will retain the Wrinkle Prevent setting. 

 

For example, if you select Wrinkle Prevent in the Normal 
cycle, Wrinkle Prevent will be on the next time you select the 
Normal cycle.

NOTE: If you do not select Wrinkle Prevent, the dryer stops 

 

after cool down.

Select the Damp Dry Signal to alert you that your clothes are 
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove 
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove 
partially dry items that may need ironing.

NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic 
Cycles.

You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press 
BUTTON SOUNDS until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) 
glows. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly when 
the Button Sounds volume is set to Off.  

Press DRUM LIGHT to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. 
During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on 
and will remain on until Drum Light is pressed again, the door is 
open and closed, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.

When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when 
Drum Light is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will 
remain on until the dryer door has been open for 5 minutes, the 
dryer door is closed or Drum Light is pressed again. 

Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.

Modifiers

Use Modifiers to select time, temperatures, and dryness levels for 
the Timed Cycles. Not all Modifiers are available with all options 
and cycles. Available modifier settings will glow amber. Current 
selections will glow green. If a modifier is unavailable with a 
selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. 

Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying time is 
displayed. The time cannot be changed with Automatic Cycles. 

Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature setting 
glows. Temperature modifiers cannot be used with the Automatic 
Cycles or the Air Fluff cycle.

Press DRYNESS LEVEL until the desired Dryness Level is 
selected. Dryness Level cannot be adjusted with Timed Cycles.

You can change Automatic Cycles, Timed Cycles, Modifiers, and

If all of your loads on all Automatic Dry cycles are consistently not 
as dry as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness 
Level settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all 
of your Automatic Dry cycles.

Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different 
installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. 
There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level), 
2 (slightly dryer clothes, approximately 15% more drying time), 
and 3 (much dryer clothes, approximately 30% more drying 
time). 

1. The Dryness Level settings cannot be changed while the 

dryer is running.

2. Press and hold the DRYNESS LEVEL button for 5 seconds. 

The dryer will beep, and “CF” will be displayed for 1 second 
followed by the current drying setting.

3. To select a new drying setting, press the DRYNESS LEVEL 

button again until the desired drying setting is shown. 

 

NOTE: While you are cycling through the settings, the current 
setting will not flash, but the other settings will flash.

4. Press START to save the drying setting.

The drying setting you selected will become your new preset 
drying setting for all Automatic Dry cycles.
