CYCLE SELECTOR (TIMER) CONTROL
Auto Dry
During the Auto Dry Cycle, the exhaust air temperature of
the dryer determines the drying time and dryness levels. A
thermostat signals the Cycle Control knob when to move
into cool down. The drying time for an Auto Dry Cycle
depends on load type and load size. When drying a large
or heavy load, the Cycle Control knob may take a long
time before it begins to advance into cool down. The Auto
Dry Cycle takes the guesswork out of drying time and
enhances fabric care. The amount of time that is displayed
is the estimated time remaining in the cycle.
The Automatic Cycle may be used for most lightweight
loads. Drying time varies according to the type of fabric,
size of the load, and dryness setting.
Dryness is determined by the exhaust temperature
of the dryer. When the dryness selected is reached, the
dryer goes into a 5 minute (approximately) cool down
period.
The Cycle Selector (Timer) Control may be set to NORMAL
DRY, 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 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 select a setting closer to More
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
Timed Dry
This cycle may be used to get up to 70 minutes of heated
drying time. The heating cycle is followed by a cool down period
of up to 10 minutes.
Air Dry
You may use the Air Dry cycle to get up to 20 minutes of drying
time in room temperature air. This setting should be used for
items such as plastics, rubber and heat-sensitive fabrics.
