HOW TO USE

CYCLE GUIDE

The cycle guide below shows the available options and recommended fabric types for AUTO DRY cycles. *NOTE: The default time and actual time will vary depending on the size of the load and moisture content.

Auto Dry Cycles

Auto Dry cycles utilize a sensor that detects moisture levels in the clothes and adjusts the drying time as needed to ensure superior results. The dryer automatically sets the dry level and temperature at the recommended setting for each cycle. The estimated time remaining will be shown in the display.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every dry level, or option is available with every cycle. Temperature settings cannot be changed. A different chime will sound and the LED will not illuminate or the selection will not change if the selection is not allowed.

CERTIFIED BY NSF

NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation Foundation), certifies that the SANITIZE cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria on laundry, and none of the bacteria will carry over onto the next laundry load.

The default settings for the SANITIZE cycle are HIGH temperature and EXTRA DRY. These default settings cannot be changed.

Do NOT use this cycle with delicate items or fabrics.

Steam cannot be added to the SANITIZE cycle.
