What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.
Sensor Dry : Dryer electronically sense laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time based on the
dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or decrease in operation time.
It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity within a certain period. Sudden change in operation time is not a
malfunction.
Time Dry : You can manualy set drying time to complete drying. Use dry performance if clothes are still damp after
sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and
thick work clothes.
