AutomaticCycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following “Automatic 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 heavy fabrics such as cotton towels or bedspreads.
Normal
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times, such as jackets, comforters and pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp & Dry signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process.
Casual
Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying
Delicate
Use this cycle to get Extra Low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie or washable knit fabrics.

Use this setting to remove wrinkles from items, such as clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.
