Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor Dry or Timed Preset Cycle Settings charts.

Sensor Dry Cycles

Sensor Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Dry Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons and jeans.

Normal

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.

Wrinkle Control

Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press blends.

Delicate

Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, blouses or washable knit fabrics.

Steam Cycles

Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such as clothes that have been worn or clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the cycle.

NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without.

Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause temporary staining on the clothes.

Rapid Refresh Small Load

This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic garments. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable.

Custom Refresh

This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. In this cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted for this cycle.

NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.
