Automatic Cycles

Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
