Cycle Selection
Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle de-
sired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.

For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be dried.
Auto Dry Cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars at
the back 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 the desired dryness level.
Auto Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.
When the load has reached the selected dryness level, it
will continue to tumble during a cool down period. This
helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle
during unloading.

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.
Sanitize
Select this Auto Dry cycle for durable fabrics and towels
to remove harmful bacteria from your clothing or other
items where sanitization is desired.
This option will kill 99.9% of bacteria with no carryover of
bacteria between loads. A higher temperature is required.
Please check fabric care labels to prevent damage.
NOTE
This cycle has been certifi ed by NSF International®,
