Coo[ Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Coo[

Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Coo[ Down

depends on the load size and dryness [eve[.

Drying tips

• Follow care [abe[ directions when they are available.

• If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions.

• To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is

especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.

• Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause

overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling.

Cycle tips

• I])ry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

• Refer to the Sensor, Steam, or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section)

for a guide to drying various loads.

I])rying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose a Sensor I])ry

Cycle. You can select a different dryness [eve[, depending on your load, by pressing

Dryness and choosing More, Normal, I_ess,or Damp. The initial preset temperature is

the preferred setting; however, you may select an alternate drying temperature by

pressing TEMP I_EVEL. Once selected, the new heat setting will be retained until reset

to the initial preset temperature. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not allow an

alternate temp to be selected.

• If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press TIME ADJUST + (plus) or

- (minus). Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TEMP I.EVEI. until the

desired temperature is selected.

NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness [eve[ with Timed Cycles.

Sensor Cycles

Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following

Sensor Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended

temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying

time for optimal drying. An alternate temperature is se[ectab[e for all cycles with the

exception of the Delicate and Bulky by pressing the TEMP I.EVEI. button.

Bulky

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times

such as jackets, comforters, and cotton or polyester fiber filled pillows. Rearrange the load

when the Damp Dry signal sounds. This step will aid in the drying process.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get regular heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons, and jeans.

Normal

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.

Wrinkle Control

Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business

clothes, and permanent press blends.

Delicate

Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, blouses, or washable

knit fabrics.

Steam Cycles

Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such as clothes that have been

worn or clothes that have been [eft in the dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the

estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the cycle.

NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free

finish may yield better results than those without.

Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause

temporary staining on the clothes.

Rapid Refresh Small Load

This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one

to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetic

garments. In this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several

minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief

coo[ down. The heat [eve[ and cycle time are not adjustable.

Custom Refresh

This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been [eft in the dryer too long. In this

cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of

tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief coo[

down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted for this cycle.

NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.

a Timed Cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time

remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing TIME

ADJUST + (plus) or - (minus). See "Changing Cycles, Modifiers, and Options."

NOTE: Timed Cycles may also be used with the drying rack. See "Drying Rack Option."

Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after a Sensor Cycle. Timed Dry is

also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads, and work clothes.

Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry on a low

temperature setting. Timed Dry can also be used with the drying rack.
