SLOWLY
• This is normal operation for an AutoDry
cycle, especially at the beginning ol the
cycle. Once the load begins to dry, the
control knob will start to advance. The
rate of advancement will be slow at the
beginning d the cycle because there is
more moisture in the load. As the load
becomes more dry,the control knob will
advance more quickly.

areas may not be completely dry when
the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. This is normal.

weight load, such as one towel with

weight items for best drying results.

varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may
enter the dryer with the surrounding
