Cycle Descriptions
Auto Dry
Applies to Towels, Bulky, Normal, Perm Press, Sport and
Delicate cycles. Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out
of drying time. The load will automatically be dried at
the selected temperature to the desired dryness level.
The dryer senses the moisture level of the load as it
tumbles through heated air.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect
fabrics. 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.
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness
of load, weight and fabric type. Room temperature
and humidity, type of ventilation system, electrical
voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time.
For cycle selection turn the knob on the front of the
dryer control panel. The light will illuminate next to
the cycle selected. The following is a brief description
for what cycles should be chosen for certain items and
materials to be dried. (See Figure 3-2)
