Turn the cycle selector in either direction to the cycle
desired. The indicator for that cycle will be illuminated.
To change the cycle once it has begun, press the cancel
button before selecting a new cycle. Just turning the
cycle selector knob to another selection will not change
the cycle. If the selection is changed after the cycle
starts, the indicator lights will blink, the signal will beep
and “ Err” will be displayed. The signal will beep and the
status lights will flash, but the original cycle will continue.
auto Dry cycles
Auto Dry cycles take the guesswork out of selecting the
correct drying time for each load. Moisture sensing bars
at the back of the dryer drum sense the moisture level of
the load as it tumbles through the heated air. With Auto
Dry cycles, the load will automatically be dried at the
selected temperature to the desired dryness level. Auto
Dry cycles save time and energy and protect fabrics.
The estimated drying time will be displayed for about 5
minutes. Then the outside of the display will light up in a
circular track to indicate the drying time is automatically
being determined by the sensors. When the load has
reached the selected dryness level, it will continue to
tumble during a cool down period. This helps reduce
wrinkling and makes items easier to handle during
unloading.
cycle Selection
Drying time varies depending on size and dampness of
load and fabric type. If the load is too small or almost
dry, the moisture sensing bars may not detect enough
moisture to continue the cycle and the cycle may end
after a few minutes. If this occurs, select a Timed Dry
cycle.
Room temperature and humidity, type of installation and
electrical voltage or gas pressure can also affect drying
time.
