CYCLE SELECTOR CONTROL
Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry Cycles may be used for most loads. These cycles give optimal drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies according to the type of fabric, size of the load, and dryness setting.
Auto Dry Cycles
All Auto Dry Cycles are preset to the Normal Dryness Level, which is good for most fabrics. At the end of the cycle, you may check the dryness of the load.
•If the load is drier than you like, you may select the Less Dryness Level the next time you dry a simliar load.
•If the load is not as dry as you like, you may select the More Dryness Level the next time you dry a similar load. Youmay complete drying using a Timed Cycle.
Auto MoistureSensing
Dryness is determined by an electronic sensor that “senses” the amount of moisture in clothes as they pass over it. When the dryness selected is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.
