How Auto Dry works
SmartHeat™ improves drying performance with Auto
Moisture Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture
is extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic
temperature sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer
drum help measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as
they tumble. An electronic control determines the load type to
help save time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy
of the end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an
automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based
on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected
and amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes
have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level
selected, the estimated time display will adjust again,
showing the final drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus
takes the guesswork out of drying time and enhances fabric
care.
To use a Timed Cycle
NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow green when the
feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is
selectable.
Press a Timed Cycles button.
Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying
time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the
time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold
MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the time will change by
5-minute intervals.
NOTE: The More Time and Less Time buttons can be
used only with Timed Cycles and the Touch Up Cycle.
Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature
glows.
NOTE: During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for
®
Time, Temperature, WRINKLE GUARD
and End of Cycle
Signal. Press STOP twice to stop the dryer and clear the
settings. Select another cycle or option. For Air Fluff, the
temperature is not adjustable.
To use a SteamCare Cycle
NOTE: A light next to each feature will glow blue when the
feature is selected or will glow amber when the feature is
selectable.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with
SteamCare cycles as it may cause temporary staining on
clothes.
Press the POWER button. Then rotate the dial to select
the SteamCare Cycle. The indicator light for the selected
cycle will glow blue. The preset modifiers for the selected
cycle will glow green. Selectable options will glow amber.
If an option or modifier is unavailable with the selected
cycle, the light will not illuminate. The actual cycle time (in
minutes) will show in the display.
Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying
time is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the
time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold
MORE TIME or LESS TIME, and the time will change by
5-minute intervals.
NOTE: The More Time and Less Time buttons can be
used only with Timed Cycles and the Touch Up Cycle.
