What are Sensor Dry and Time Dry?

Your dryer provides sensor drying and time drying programs.

Sensor Dry : Dryer senses electronically laundry humidity and it automatically determines operation time

based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times, you can see sudden increase or

decrease on operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.

Sudden change on operation time is not a malfunction.

Time Dry : Time Dry is that you can set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Time Dry to have

drying performance if clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Time Dry is more effective for

heavyweight and bulky items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.
