This document is a user manual for a Samsung Dryer, model DVE22N6850**. It provides comprehensive information on installation, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and specifications for the appliance.
Function Description:
The Samsung Dryer is designed to efficiently dry clothes. It features various drying cycles, temperature settings, and special functions to cater to different fabric types and user preferences. The dryer utilizes Sensor Dry technology, which detects moisture levels in the load and automatically stops the cycle when the desired dryness is achieved, preventing over-drying and saving energy. Manual Dry cycles allow users to set specific drying times.
