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.
