CYCLE GUIDE

The cycle guide below shows the available options and recommended fabric types for AUTO DRY cycles.
*NOTE: The default time and actual time will vary depending on the size of the load and moisture content.
Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles utilize a sensor that detects moisture levels in the clothes and adjusts the drying time as needed to ensure superior
results. The dryer automatically sets the dry level and temperature at the recommended setting for each cycle. The estimated time
remaining will be shown in the display.
