whatisthe difference
betweenAutomatic&
Thmd drying?
Adomatic Dryh’tg
When using the AUTOMATICcycles,
the Automatic Dry Control system
continually senses the temperature of
the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry
keepsthis air cool. Whenthe laundry
is dry enough (andthe drum air warm
enough)the heat turns off. When the
air cools, the heat turns back on. This
off and on cycling may happena num-
ber of times (dependingon the fabric,
ioad size, and Cycle Selector setting.)
The Cycle Selector advances (when
the h~at is off) until it automatically
turns off dryer. e
‘lllirmd IDryiing
When using the TIMED CYCLES,you
select the number of minutes you
wish the dryer to run and it turns off
at the end of this time period.
