Lightweight garments, such as exercise wear, can be dried using Timed Dry on a low temperature setting.

Options

You can customize your cycles by selecting options. Not all Options are available with all cycles. Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate when pressed and an error sound will be heard.
