Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in
the front of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of the
load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto Dry
cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the selected
temperature to a specifi c dryness level. Auto Dry cycles
save time and energy and protect fabrics.
When the load has reached the dryness level, it will
continue to tumble during a cool down period. This helps
reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading.

Dryer Operating Instructions

Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of
load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost dry,
the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough moisture
to continue the cycle and the cycle may end after a few
minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry cycle.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and
electrical voltage or gas pressure can also aff ect drying
time.
