Auto Dry
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of drying time. Loads dried
using the Towels, Heavy Duty, Normal, Perm Press, and Delicates
cycles will dry automatically at the selected temperature to the desired
dryness level. The dryer uses sensing bars to sense the moisture
level of the load as it tumbles through heated air. Auto Dry cycles
save time and energy and protect fabrics.
DRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The estimated drying time will be displayed for about 5 minutes.
Then the outside of the display will light up in a circular track to
indicate the drying time is automatically being determined by the
sensors. When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it
will continue to tumble, unheated, during a Cool Down period. This
helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading. The estimated Cool Down time will be displayed.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of load and
fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry, the sensing bars
may not detect enough moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle
may end after a few minutes. Select a Timed Dry setting to dry such
loads.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical
voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.
