Use the Time Adjust buttons to select the time appropriate for the load you want to dry. Cycle time is adjustable in 5 minute increments. Enhanced Touch Up with Steam: This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from dry garments. Dry time will automatically adjust when the load size is sensed. Temperature is selectable. 6.

The sensor drying settings on Automatic Cycles can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 5 drying settings, they will appear in the time display: 01 Factory preset dryness level. 02 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time. 03 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time. 04 Much damper clothes, 30% less drying time. 05 Slightly damper clothes, 15% less drying time.

The dryer must be in standby mode (the Power button is off) to adjust the default settings. 1. Before starting a cycle, press and hold the DRYNESS LEVEL button for 6 seconds. 2.
