What are Sensor
Dry
and Time
Dry?
Your
dryer provides
sensor
drying
and time
drying programs.
Sensor
Dry
The
dryer
senses the dampness of the
laundry
and
automatically
determines the heat level and
operation
time. You
might
see a sudden increase or decrease
in
operation
time
if
the sensor determines more or less
drying
is
required.
This is not a
malfunction.
Time
Dry
Use
TIME DRY
to select heat level and
drying
time
manually.
This can be used
if
clothes are not as
dry
as
you
like them
at the end of the
cycle.
Use
TIME DRY
for
heavy
and
bulky
items and thick work.

having
an
equipment-grounding
conductor and a
grounding plug.
The

properly
installed and
grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
-
Improper

equipment-
grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock.
