Using Your Dryer
7. Selecting the Drying Process
There are two ways in which your dryer is able to dry clothes; by using AUTO SENSING or by
using TIME DRY.
AUTO SENSING
When AUTO SENSING is selected SmartLoad™ automatically senses
the dryness level of the load and turns off when the clothes are dry.
SmartLoad’s internal computer measures the moisture content of
the load using metal sensing bars and together with a temperature
sensor determine when the clothes have reached the selected
dryness level (Refer to page 17 - Selecting the Dryness Level).
For optimum clothes care, match the cycle to the load. AUTO
SENSING often provides the best results and leads to lower energy
costs than TIME DRY.
As Auto Sensing relies on items of the load contacting sensors it will
not work when the Drying Rack accessory is used.
TIME DRY
There are three timed cycles. You can choose between 20, 40 and
80 minutes. A COOL DOWN period of 10 minutes is included in
the 80-minute and 40-minute cycle. The 20-minute cycle has a
5-minute COOL DOWN period.
To select a timed cycle, press the down arrow on the TIME DRY
selection. The AUTO SENSING light will switch off. Now select the
time you want your dryer to run for.
Throughout the cycle, the progress lights above the SMART TOUCH
CYCLE buttons signal your load’s progress. This is an indication of
how dry your load is. The load will continue drying until the time you have set has elapsed.
During TIME DRY, the dryer does not sense when the clothes are dry. This may cause
over-drying.
We recommend that you dry your clothes for a slightly shorter time than you think they
need, or check on them regularly (to avoid over-drying).
8. Beginning Drying Cycle
Once you have chosen all your desired settings, press START/PAUSE (located on the right-hand
side of the control panel).
You will hear a few new sounds that you may not have heard from your previous dryer. These
noises are normal and are related to SmartLoad™ locking the lid and closing the drum door.
