In your words, it beggars belief. So if you don't connect your phones to it, how do you operate it? Do you have some dedicated throwaway device?

It has a variety of default options I can select from. Some I can make limited changes to.

For the case I mentioned I have to run it on delicates, change the dry level to maximum, and then run it three times.
