PROGRAMS
The duration of these programs will depend on the size of the
load, types of textiles, the spin speed used in your washer and
any extra options selected. In machines equipped with display,
the duration of the cycles is shown on the control panel. The
remaining time is constantly checked and adjusted during the
drying cycle to show the best possible estimate.
Option to use - If all your loads on Automatic Cycles are
consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may
increase or decrease the dryness level using the specific option.
