AUTO CYCLES

Auto Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Auto 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, cotton towels or jeans.

Normal

Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying mixed loads and sturdy fabrics such as work clothes.

Casual

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 Low heat for drying synthetic fabrics, washable knit fabrics and no-iron finishes.

Super Delicate

Use this cycle to get Extra Low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, exercise wear or sheer curtains.

Damp Dry

Use this cycle to dry items to a damp level using Low heat, or to dry items that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as jeans (to avoid stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make ironing easier). The temperature setting on this cycle cannot be adjusted. Items will have different levels of dampness. At the end of this cycle, clothes will be damp.
