Automatic Cycles
AUTOMATIC Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following AUTOMATIC Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature.
A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically
adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. Drying time will vary
depending on load size, fabric type, and the amount of water
removed by the washer.
NOTE:
Drying tempratures are set for Automatic Cycles and
cannot be adjusted.
