Extra care Feature
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles
can form. The Extra Care feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to help
reduce wrinkling.
• Press the Extra Care feature to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the
end of a cycle.
• Stop at any time by pressing the Extra Care feature or opening the dryer door.
• For the Casual Cycle, the Extra Care feature is preset to "On." The other Automatic Cycles
will retain the Extra Care feature setting. (For example, if you select the Extra Care feature
in the Normal cycle, the Extra Care feature will be on the next time you select the Normal
cycle.)
NOTE: If you do not select the Extra Care feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period.
