About the dryer control panel.
Dry Cycles
The dry cycle controls the cycle time for the drying process. The chart below will help you match
the dry setting with the loads.
2
Sensor Cycles
COTTONS For cottons and most linens.
NORMAL/ For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends.
MIXED LOAD
WRINKLE FREE For wrinkle-free/easy care and permanent press items.
ACTIVE WEAR Clothing worn for active sports exercise and some casual wear. Fabrics include new
technology finishes and stretch fibers such as Spandex.
DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics.
SPEED DRY For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sports or school uniforms. Can also be
used if the previous cycle left some items damp, such as collars or waistbands.
Timed Dry Cycles
STEAM For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on 1–5 garments.
REFRESH Selecting a higher number of garments for the cycle (e.g., selecting 5-garment load for a 1-garment load) may
result in excessive wetting of clothes. After the STEAM REFRESH Cycle, the unit will beep and display "Garments
(on some models)
Ready" and "0:00." If the unit is not turned off or if the door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30
minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, it will display "0:00" and "Cycle Complete."
NOTE: When STEAM REFRESH is selected, "EXTENDED TUMBLE" will automatically turn on and cannot be
turned off.
A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included in the steam refresh cycle to
achieve optimum results.
DEWRINKLE For removing wrinkles from items that are dry or slightly damp. This cycle is not reccomended for delicate
(on some models) fabrics.
STEAM For use with larger loads than STEAM REFRESH. Ideal for loads left in dryer for an extended
DEWRINKLE time. Selecting a larger cycle than needed (e.g., selecting Large Load for a half-full dryer)
(on some models) may result in excessive wetting of clothes.
WARM UP Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes.

The sensor continuously monitors the amount of moisture in the load. When the moisture in your clothes reaches your
selected dry level, the dryer will stop.
EXTRA DRY Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels.
MORE DRY Use for heavy or mixed type of fabrics.
DRY Use for normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle
for energy saving.
LESS DRY Use for lighter fabric (ideal for ironing).
DAMP For leaving items partially damp.
