Using Your Dryer
5. Selecting the Dryness Level
The desired dryness level can be altered. There are two dryness levels to choose between:
MORE DRY (+)
LESS DRY (–)
Refer to page 30 for Dryness Level descriptions.
At the end of the cycle, if the clothes are still damp or are too dry, next time just adjust the
dryness level on the timer to meet your personal preferences.
6. Selecting the Drying Process
There are two ways in which your dryer is able to dry clothes; by using
AUTOMATIC DRYING
CYCLES
or by using
TIMED DRY
.
AUTOMATIC DRYING
When
AUTOMATIC DRYING
is selected the dryer automatically senses the dryness level of the
load and turns off when the clothes are dry. The dryer’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 above - Selecting the Dryness
Level).
For optimum clothes care, match the cycle to the load.
AUTOMATIC DRYING
often provides the
best results and leads to lower energy costs than
TIMED DRY
.
As Automatic Drying Cycles rely on items of the load contacting sensors it will not work when the
Drying Rack accessory is used.
TIMED DRY
There are three timed cycles. You can choose between 40, 60 and 80 minutes. A
COOL DOWN
period of 10 minutes is included in the three cycles.
To select a timed cycle, set the Cycle Selector at the desired drying time you want your dryer to
run for. Throughout the cycle, the Cycle Selector will rotate towards the end of the cycle.
During TIMED 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).
