What to Check First
- Air Dry cycle : 30 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes.
- Heated Dry cycle : 30 minutes to 3 hours and 25 minutes.
- Use one of the manual dry cycles when you want to dry items for a set amount of time depending on the fabric type. Since it is manual drying, the cycle runs as long as the set duration.
- ➔ Use this cycle when it is necessary to dry clothes using the drying rack, i.e. on a flat surface without tumble action. The Rack Dry cycle can be used to dry delicate clothes such as sweaters.
- Do not tumble dry delicate fabric that is prone to shrinkage when exposed to heat. Such items can get ruined by the drying heat.
- ➔ Use these cycles when you want to dry relatively light loads of clothes for some fixed time.
- 1. Press the Power button. 2. Select Rack Dry / Heated Dry / Air Dry cycle. 3. Press the More Time button and the Less Time button to set the drying time. 4. Press the Start/Pause button.
