Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

†You may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes. This is available only with High and Medium Drying Temperature settings.

Load Size Recommendations

For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more than 1/4 full.

Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full. Do not overload. Items need to tumble freely.
