Selecting The Drying Process - Fisher & Paykel SmartLoad DE62T27GW1 Installation Instructions And User Manual

Using Your Dryer

7. Selecting the Drying Process

There are two ways in which your dryer is able to dry clothes; by using AUTO SENSING or by
using TIME DRY.
AUTO SENSING
When AUTO SENSING is selected SmartLoad™ automatically
senses the dryness level of the load and turns off when the
clothes are dry. SmartLoad™' s internal computer measures
the moisture content of the load using metal sensing bars
and together with a temperature sensor determine when the
clothes have reached the selected dryness level (Refer to page
40 – Selecting the Dryness Level).
For optimum clothes care, match the cycle to the load. AUTO
SENSING often provides the best results and leads to lower
energy costs than TIME DRY.
TIME DRY
There are three timed cycles. You can choose between 20,
40 and 80 minutes. A COOL DOWN period of 10 minutes is
included in the 80-minute and 40-minute cycle. The 20-minute
cycle has a 5-minute COOL DOWN period.
To select a timed cycle, press the down arrow on the TIME DRY
selection. The AUTO SENSING light will switch off. Now select
the time you want your dryer to run for.
Throughout the cycle, the progress lights above the SMART
TOUCH CYCLE buttons signal your load's progress. This is an
indication of how dry your load is. The load will continue drying
until the time you have set has elapsed.
During TIME DRY, the dryer does not sense when the clothes are dry. This may cause over-drying.
We recommend that you dry your clothes for a slightly shorter time than you think they need,
or check on them regularly (to avoid over-drying).
8. Beginning Drying Cycle
Once you have chosen all your desired settings, press START/PAUSE (located on the right-hand
side of the control panel).
You will hear a few new sounds that you may not have heard from your previous dryer. These
noises are normal and are related to SmartLoad™ locking the lid and closing the drum door.
