Cycle Guide – Automatic Cycles

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered. If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

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.

Cycle Guide – Manual Cycles

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered (except on Quick Dry). If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default.

Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

Selecting the Drying Temperature

A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items such as towels and work clothes.

A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses, underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.

Use a no heat (air dry) setting for foam, rubber, plastic, or heat-sensitive fabrics. Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for various loads, refer to the care label directions.

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 pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.
