Indesit WD12 dry times (automatic?)

[Coniferman]

I have had one of these a few years now. (yes I know - still works - miraculous) Anyway one thing that has always puzzled me. You can set the dry timer for 30/60 etc. minutes or you can set it for iron/linedry/cupboard dry (or something similar). I am wondering if these modes are preprogrammed with the number of minutes or does it automatically sense the moisture? If auto. does this happen in both hot and warm programmes. The manual does not explain this.

its a timed dry not senser dry ,only on tumble dryers can you get senser dry , iron /cupboard/ linen just means damp, bone dry or ready to iron

Thanks. (that explains it) I was wondering why it seemed to take so long to dry only a small number of items or why it takes so long to dry, already nearly dry items.
