Auto Moisture Sensing

When you are using the Auto Moisture Sensing Cycle, the dryness
of the load is determined by two metal strips (sensors) located on
the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help "feel" the amount of

moisture left in the clothes as they pass. When there is moisture

left in the clothes, the Cycle Control knob will not advance. As
clothes begin to dry, the amount of water left in the clothes
decreases, and the timer advances through the remainder of the
cycle. When the selected dryness level is reached, the dryer goes

into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.

Ifthe load is drier than you like, you may select a setting closer to

Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load. If a load is not as
dry as you like, you may complete drying using a Timed cycle. You

may also select a setting closer to More Dry the next time you dry
a similar load.

WRINKLE GUARD ®Ill helps smooth out wrinkles that may form when clothes are not removed promptly at the end of a cycle.

WRINKLE GUARD ®III periodically tumbles the load, without heat, for 90 minutes unless you open the dryer door.

ring WRINKLE GUARD ®Ill, the End of Cycle Signal will sound every 5 minutes unless the signal is turned off.
