The dryer uses sensing bars to sense the moisture
level of the load as it tumbles through heated air.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect
fabrics. The estimated drying time will be displayed
for about 5 minutes. Then the outside ofthe 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, unheated,

during a Cool Down period. This helps reduce
wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading. The estimated Cool Down time will be
displayed.

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness
of load and fabric type. If the load is too small or
almost dry, the sensing bars may not detect enough
moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may
end after a few minutes. Select a Timed Dry setting
to dry such loads.

Room temperature and humidity, type of installation
and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect
drying time.
