or decrease the length of a Timed Dry or Rapid
Dry cycle.

in the load. Follow garment label instructions.

Wrinkle Prevent
If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch
Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 140 minutes of periodic
tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On some cycles, you
may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam
cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.
Energy Saver
Touch to activate the Energy Saver option, which allows
you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly
lower heat level. Energy Saver will increase drying times
by approximately 40 minutes; the LED Display will reflect
this time.
Energy Saver is only available for Normal. For optimal
energy, turn on the Energy Saver option. For optimal time,
turn off the Energy Saver option.
NOTE: Energy savings may vary across loads.
OPTIONS
Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles
and options are available on all models.
My Cycle
If you have a favorite cycle with custom settings that you
use frequently, you can use the My Cycle feature to keep
your preferred settings ready to use. To save the cycle
press and hold MY CYCLE (approximately 3 seconds)
until a beep sounds and the letters “SET” are displayed on
your machine. When selecting My Cycle refer to the LCD
display for additional options and settings.
Drum Light
Touch to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light
will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off
automatically after about 5 minutes.
Reduce Static
Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected
Sensor cycles (see “Cycle Guide”). The dryer will
automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount
of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option
adds approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.
