CYCLE GUIDE — SENSOR DRY CYCLES

Not all cycles and settings are available on all models. Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

SENSOR DRY CYCLE - Senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Gives the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting.

Depending on model, temperature may be selected on cycle knob or be a separate control.

Setting the Drying Temperature

If your dryer has multiple heat settings:

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.
