Operating Instructions 11 Auto Dry Cycles Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars in the front 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, unheated, during a cool down period. This helps reduce wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during unloading. NOTE Initial cycle times for Auto Dry Cycles are only estimates. Actual drying time may be longer or shorter than displayed time. 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, then select the time dry cycle to dry such loads. Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying time. normal Select this cycle to dry everyday fabrics including cottons, linens and sheets. towels Select this cycle to dry heavy loads such as towels and non-rubber-backed bath mats. mixed load (on select models) Select this cycle to dry loads containing a mix of fabrics. heavy duty Select this cycle to dry durable fabrics such as jeans and overalls. allergen (on select models) Select this Auto Dry cycle where you wish to reduce allergens as you dry your load.
