Amana NED5800DW Manual

Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed  

to reduce wrinkling. 

You may adjust different settings, depending on whether you 

have selected an Automatic Cycle or Manual Cycle. See the 

“Cycle Guide” for detailed information.
NOTE: Not all options and settings are available with all cycles. 

Not all cycles are on all models.
Automatic Cycles:

You can select a different dryness level, depending on your 

load. Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to scroll to More, Normal, or 

Less. Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts 

the dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a 

dryness level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping  

the cycle.
Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time.  

Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and  

dryness setting. Drying time is estimated and may change 

throughout the cycle. Drying time can not be changed on  

Automatic Cycles.
NOTE: Automatic cycles use a preset temperature that is not 

adjustable.
Manual Cycles:

When you select a Manual Cycle, 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 Temp until the desired dry temperature is lit. Once a 

cycle has started, the temperature can be changed after first 

pausing the cycle.

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:

F1  Factory preset dryness level.

F2  Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

F3  Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

F4  Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.

F5  Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time.

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.

LEVEL for 6 seconds. 

2.  Touch DRYNESS LEVEL to select the dryness level 

shown in the time display: F1, F2, F3, F4, or F5.
