Press the 

power

 button

to turn on the unit 

and turn the cycle selector to the desired 

cycle. The estimated drying time for Auto Dry 

cycles or the actual drying time for Time Dry 

cycles will be displayed on the display screen.
Default settings and options will automatically 

be indicated for the cycle selected. In most 

cases cycle settings and options can be 

changed. See 

Cycle Settings, Cycle Options, 

and 

Settings Chart for more details.  

NOTE

Initial cycle times for Auto Dry cycles are only 

estimates, the actual drying time may differ 

slightly from the time displayed.

NOTE

If the cycle selector indicator is pointed at the 

12 o’clock position, then “--” will be displayed. 

Turning the cycle selector to any other position 

will result in the default cycle settings for the 

indicated dry program being illuminated.

NOTE

To change the cycle and/or settings once 

the cycle has begun (after the start button 

has been pressed), either rotate the knob to 

the reset position (12 o’clock position) OR 

press the power button to turn off the unit 

and cancel the cycle. Press the power button

Selecting the Right Cycle to Save 

Energy

This dryer has been specifically designed with 

options to help you save energy and at the 

same time utilize the optimal drying setting for 

your clothing.
The normal cycle was used to rate the dryer for 

energy efficiency. The normal cycle defaults to 

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of 

selecting the correct drying time for each 

load. Moisture sensors sense the moisture 

level of the load as it tumbles through the 

heated air. With Auto Dry cycles, the load 

will automatically be dried at the selected 

temperature to the desired dryness level. 
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and 

protect fabrics. When the load has reached 

the selected dryness level, it will continue to 

tumble, unheated, during a cool down period. 

This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items 

easier to handle during unloading.
Drying times vary depending on size and 

dampness of the load and fabric type. If the 

load is too small or almost dry, the moisture 

sensors may not detect enough moisture to 

continue the cycle and the cycle may end 

after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a 

Timed Dry cycle.

high temperature setting, normal dryness level 

and eco mode option (if available) on.
Some cycles save more energy than others. 

Cycles that use the least amount of heat save 

the most energy. Use the lowest heat setting 

(auto and timed dry cycles) and less dry setting 

(auto dry cycles) to save on energy and prevent 

over drying your clothing.
