Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle 

desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.

To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel 

button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the 

cycle selector knob to another selection will not change 

the cycle. If the selection is changed after the cycle 

starts, the indicator lights will blink, the signal will beep 

and “

Err

” will be displayed. The signal will beep and the 

status lights will flash, but the original cycle will continue.

auto Dry cycles

Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the 

correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars 

at the back of the dryer drum 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.
The estimated drying time will be displayed for about  5 

minutes. Then the outside of the display will light up in a 

circular track to indicate the drying time is automatically 

being determined by the sensors. When the load has 

reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to 

tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce 

wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during 

unloading.

cycle Selection

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of 

load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost 

dry, the moisture sensing bars 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.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and 

electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying 

time.
