you do mix various types of fabrics in your load, set the controls for the lighter-weight fabrics and remove when dry. Reset controls for remaining heavier fabrics.)

whatisthe difference

betweenAutomatic& Thmd drying?

Adomatic Dryh’tg

When using the AUTOMATICcycles, the Automatic Dry Control system continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keepsthis air cool. Whenthe laundry is dry enough (and the drum air warm enough)the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on. This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (dependingon the fabric,

ioad size, and Cycle Selector setting.) The Cycle Selector advances (when the h~at is off) until it automatically turns off dryer.

‘lllirmd IDryiing

When using the TIMED CYCLES,you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time period.
