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.
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 also 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 90 minutes of heated drying time.
The heating cycle is followed by a cool down period of up to
10 minutes.
Touch Up
This cycle may be used to help smooth synthetic and permanent press
clothes that are clean but wrinkled from being crowded in a closet or
suitcase. This setting provides about 20 minutes of heated tumbling
followed by a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.
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.
TE: WRINKLE GUARD ® Ill may be turned off by setting the WRINKLE GUARD .®knob to Off. The End of Cycle Signal will not sound
ry five minutes when WRINKLE GUAREP is turned off.
