HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DRYER

The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying

Automatic Drying (Electronic) (on some models)

When using the Automatic Cycles, the Electronic Sensor Control system continually senses the moisture in the tumbling clothes, determines when they are dried to your pre-selected setting, and terminates the cycle automatically. The Cycle Selector will not advance until clothes have reached a certain degree of dryness.

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.
