Using Your Dryer 7. Selecting the Drying Process There are two ways in which your dryer is able to dry clothes; by using AUTO SENSING or by using TIME DRY. AUTO SENSING When AUTO SENSING is selected SmartLoad™ automatically senses the dryness level of the load and turns off when the clothes are dry. SmartLoad™'s internal computer measures the moisture content of the load using metal sensing bars and together with a temperature sensor determine when the clothes have reached the selected dryness level (Refer to page 40 - Selecting the Dryness Level). For optimum clothes care, match the cycle to the load. AUTO SENSING often provides the best results and leads to lower energy costs than TIME DRY. TIME DRY There are three timed cycles. You can choose between 20, 40 and 80 minutes. A COOL DOWN period of 10 minutes is included in the 80-minute and 40-minute cycle. The 20-minute cycle has a 5-minute COOL DOWN period. To select a timed cycle, press the down arrow on the TIME DRY selection. The AUTO SENSING light will switch off. Now select the time you want your dryer to run for. Throughout the cycle, the progress lights above the SMART TOUCH CYCLE buttons signal your load's progress. This is an indication of how dry your load is. The load will continue drying until the time you have set has elapsed. During TIME DRY, the dryer does not sense when the clothes are dry. This may cause over-drying. We recommend that you dry your clothes for a slightly shorter time than you think they need, or check on them regularly (to avoid over-drying). 8. Beginning Drying Cycle Once you have chosen all your desired settings, press START/PAUSE (located on the right-hand side of the control panel). You will hear a few new sounds that you may not have heard from your previous dryer. These noises are normal and are related to SmartLoad™ locking the lid and closing the drum door. 41
