Control panel
01 Cycle Selector | Turn the Cycle Selector to select the desired cycle. The indicator by the cycle name lights up.
|
02 Digital Graphic Display | Displays all cycle information, including the cycle time, information code, and operating status. |
03 Dryness | Press to select a dry level. You can select from 5 different options (Less to More). Please refer to following recommendations to select the appropriate dryness.
NOTE: This option is not available with REFRESH, STEAM SANITIZE*, ACTIVEWEAR, TIME DRY, QUICK DRY, and AIR FLUFF. |
04 Temp. | Press to change the temperature of the current cycle. You can select from 5 different options (Low to High). Please select the appropriate temperature depending on the items in the load.
|
05 Time | Press Time to select a drying time for the selected cycle. This is available only with TIME DRY, QUICK DRY, and AIR FLUFF. This button is not available for Sensor Dry cycles because exact drying times are determined by fluctuating humidity levels. |
06 Wrinkle Prevent | Wrinkle Prevent provides approximately 180 minutes of intermittent tumbling in unheated air at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling. Press Wrinkle Prevent to activate this feature. The load is dry and can be removed at any time during the Wrinkle Prevent cycle. |
07 Eco Dry | This function is available with NORMAL and TIME DRY. With the Eco Dry activated, drying takes a longer time but power consumption is reduced. The drying time can be extended by up to 3 times normal depending on the temperature and load. The Eco Dry function is enabled by default. |
08 Damp Alert | This alert is available for all Sensor Dry cycles except for ACTIVEWEAR. Available dry levels are Normal, More, and Extra. If a load contains mixed fabrics, the Damp Alert indicator blinks when average dryness of the items in the load is 80 % dry. This lets you take items that you don’t want fully dried or that dry quickly out of the dryer early while letting others continue to dry. |
09 Drum Light | Press to turn the interior lamp on or off. The lamp stays lit for 2 minutes after it has turned on, regardless of whether the power is on or off or the door is open or closed, and then turns off automatically. |
10 Adjust Time | You can change the set time for the selected cycle. This is available only with TIME DRY, QUICK DRY, and AIR FLUFF. To change the cycle time, press Adjust Time ^ or Adjust Time v until the desired time is displayed. |
11 Smart Monitor | After connecting the Tumble Dryer to your home network using the SmartThings app, you can control or monitor the dryer remotely. When started, the Smart Control (Smart Monitor) indicator blinks. The dryer enters waiting mode and waits for remote commands. |
12 Power | Press to turn on/turn off the dryer. |
13 Start/Pause (Hold to Start) | Press and hold to start operation or press to stop operation. |
NOTE: Do not take extremely tangled items from your washer and put them into the dryer. They can degrade the drying efficiency of the dryer or cause the door to open. We recommend that you untangle the items before putting them into the dryer. Also, do not put objects on the dryer, especially on the control panel.
CAUTION: Do not spray water directly onto the control panel. This may cause a system failure.
