Auto Cycles
Auto Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are
drying. See the following Auto 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. Press the DRYNESS LEVEL button to change the
dryness level to MORE, NORMAL, or LESS.
