HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DRYER The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying Automatic Drying When using the Automatic Cycles, the Automatic Dry Control system continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps this air cool. When laundry is dry enough (and the drum air warms enough) the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on. This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (depending on the fabric, load size and Cycle Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when the heat is off) until it automatically turns off the dryer. Timed Drying When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time period. For best performance of the Automatic Cycles As a guideline: The next time you dry a similar load, if you want your • clothes to be dryer, set the knob/pointer ( ) toward "Extra dry/Sec". * Use NORMAL DRY positioning for ALL load sizes.
