which works in conjunction with the heat generated by the dryer to de-wrinkle clothing.
• Steam Refresh: Rejuvenate lightly worn clothes by getting rid of wrinkles and odors with this convenient
setting using the power of steam.
• Steam Dewrinkle: Stored or wrinkled clothes come out ready to wear with this helpful setting that uses
steam to refresh and dry a load of any size.
• CleanSpeak™ Communication System: Perfect drying performance is achievable thanks to the ability of
the washer to communicate with the dryer to preset the dry cycle.
• Wi-Fi Connect: Check dryer progress from your smartphone with an app that lets you monitor cycles,
settings, extended tumble time and receive alerts when clothes haven't been removed.

and money savings.
• HE SensorDry™: Allows the control to monitor the fabric for moisture content and end the cycle at the
desired moisture level.
• My Settings: Selection saves a favorite cycle for future use.
• Cycle Countdown Display with LED Indicators: Know exactly how much time is left for each cycle with
bright display and lights.
• Large 7.8 cubic foot dryer drum capacities.
• Integrated drying rack for drying delicate items, such as
washable sweaters.
• Dual Thermistors: Thermistors are more sensitive to
temperature changes and can relay the information faster
than thermostats. The dryer utilizes dual thermistors to
monitor incoming air temperature, as well as air temperature
leaving the drum. The sensors work together with the heat
and the blower to provide consistent, even heat.

ESettings
Individual settings for Timed Dry cycle minutes (Time), dryness level (Level), and temperature
(Temp) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). In
general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used.
Time - Selection only for Timed cycles.
Each “setting” allows you to specify a lower (1 tap) or an upper
(2 taps) time working your way from a minimum 10 minute to a
maximum 99 minute dry time (10, 20, 30, 40, . . . 80, 90, 99, 10 . . .)
Dryness Level - Selection only used for Sensor cycles. Timed cycles run for the selected time.
Extra Dry Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such
as towels.
More Dry Use for heavy-duty or mixed type fabrics.
Dry Use for a normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the
preferred cycle for energy savings.
Less Dry Use for lighter fabrics.
Damp For leaving items partially damp.

FOptions
Delay Dry
As the Delay Dry button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time sets from 1 to 9 hours, and
back to clear (0). After selecting the delay time, pressStart and the delay time will count down
the time remaining until the cycle starts.
If the Delay Dry button is pressed for 3 seconds, it clears (regardless of the delay time) or
terminates a delaying cycle.
Extended Tumble
Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides 1 hour of no-heat tumbling
after the clothes are dry. If you are using the cycleVolume and you select the Extended
Tumble option, a signal will sound at the end of the drying time and every 5 minutes during
the Extended Tumble cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes.
Damp Alert
This option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items
that you wish to hang dry. The Damp Alert will only beep when this option is selected (but the
dry cycle will keep running). Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp can
reduce the need to iron some items. The light beside the button will be lit when Damp Alert is
on.

Dryer Features
This feature is activated in all but
the Timed (Timed Dry & Quick

Steam Dewrinkle) cycles.
The Sensor Dry provides greater
drying accuracy than standard
machines, resulting in shorter dry
times and better clothes care. As
the clothes tumble, they touch a
moisture sensor. The sensor will
stop the heating cycle as soon
as the clothes have reached the
selected dryness.
This dryer will adjust the initial
estimated drying time of the
