To use a Sensor Cycle
■ Press POWER/CANCEL.
■ Turn the knob to desired Sensor Cycle.
■ Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the
control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the
selected dryness level.
The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting for drying loads of different
garment types listed (see “Sensor Cycles”). If desired, one alternate temperature may
be selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. The next time the same cycle is
selected, the alternate temperature is remembered and displayed. The original
(default) temperature may be reselected. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not offer
an alternate temperature.
■ Select the desired Options.
To make changes during a Sensor Cycle:
■ Press START/PAUSE.
■ Adjust Dryness Level.
NOTE: Dryness selections can be made only while using Sensor Cycles.
How the Sensi-Care™ Drying System Works
Moisture-sensing strips and temperature sensors inside the dryer drum monitor how fast
the load is drying, how hot the air should be, and when clothes are dry. The system
automatically stops the cycle to help save time and avoid overdrying.
To use a Timed Cycle
■ Turn knob to desired Timed Cycle.
■ Press the TIME ADJUST + (plus) or – (minus) until the desired drying time is displayed.
Press the + (plus) or – (minus) and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press
and hold the + (plus) or – (minus) and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.
NOTE: The Time Adjust feature can be used only with the Timed Cycles and the
Custom Refresh cycle.
■ Press TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature illuminates.
NOTE: The Temp Level feature can be used only with Timed Cycles and the Custom
Refresh cycle.
NOTE: During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temp, the Wrinkle
Prevent setting, and the End Signal.
5. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more details, see “Options.”
6. (OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, press END SIGNAL. A signal will sound to alert you when a

automatically shuts off.

■ Turn the knob to the desired Steam Cycle.
■ For the Custom Refresh cycle, press the TIME ADJUST + (plus) or – (minus) until the
desired drying time is displayed. Press the + (plus) or – (minus) and the time will
change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold the + (plus) or – (minus) and the time
will change by 5-minute intervals.
NOTE: The Time Adjust features can be used only with Timed Cycles and the Custom
Refresh cycle.
■ Press TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature illuminates.
NOTE: During the Custom Refresh cycle, you can change the settings for Time Adjust and
Temp Adjust. Open the door or press START/PAUSE to pause, or press POWER/CANCEL
to cancel a cycle.
Stopping, Pausing, or Restarting
To stop or pause your dryer at any time
Open the door or press START/PAUSE. Press POWER/CANCEL to cancel a cycle.
To restart the dryer
Close the door. Press START/PAUSE until dryer starts.

press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will
shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.
Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor Cycle is
running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing
the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display shows the exact
number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all cycles. Cool
Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down
depends on the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips
■ Follow care label 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.
