CYCLES

Casual

Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron items such as sheets, shirts or dresses. The temperature automatically defaults to low. Press the Up arrow once to select a setting closer to More Dry.

Delicate

Select this cycle to gently dry items such as exercise wear, sheer curtains or lace. The temperature is automatically set at Extra Low.

Automatic Cycles

Use your Automatic Cycles to dry most loads. Your dryer uses the SENSEON™ Drying System. Electronic sensors measure the temperature of the exhaust to increase or decrease drying temperatures for faster reaction time and tighter temperature control.

After drying a load in any of the Automatic Cycles, check the dryness.

■If the load is drier than you like, press the down arrow to select a setting closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

■If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a Timed cycle. Press the Up arrow to select a setting closer to More Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

NOTE: The Up and Down arrows are located next to the Automatic Cycles pads.

To use the Automatic Cycles
