CYCLE GUIDE - SENSOR CYCLES Senses moisture in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The dry temperature shown is the default temperature. This setting can be modified on some cycles but is not retained for future drying with this cycle. The dryness level shown is the default dryness setting. This setting can be changed on some cycles and will be retained for future drying with this cycle. Available options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Sensing cycles. These cycles measure the drying air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. For electric models, dryer performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240. Items to dry: Large loads of towels and heavyweight items Heavyweight items such as towels or heavy work clothes Jackets, comforters, pillows Cycle: Power Dry Temperature: Heavy Duty Bedding Dry Level: Available Options: Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Static Reduce Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Static Reduce Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Heavyweight items Sanitize* Wrinkle Prevent† w/o Steam Work clothes, casual wear, mixed cottons, sheets, corduroys Normal Energy Saver Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Static Reduce Jeans and denim Denim Shirts, blouses, permanent press, synthetics, lightweight items Wrinkle Control Undergarments, blouses, lingerie, performance wear Delicates Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Static Reduce Energy Saver Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† w/ Steam Static Reduce Energy Saver Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Static Reduce Cycle Details: This is a high heat cycle. Use for large loads of heavyweight fabrics such as cotton towels. Offers stepped drying starting with High heat followed by Medium High heat for enhanced fabric care and energy savings. Use for drying large, bulky items; do not overfill dryer drum. Partway through the cycle, the signal will sound for 2 minutes to indicate when it is time to rearrange items for optimal drying. This is a long cycle with high heat which has been proven to reduce household bacteria. This cycle is not recommended for all fabrics. Use for loads of heavyweight fabrics. Starts at High Heat, quickly goes to Medium High, and then ends on Medium heat to dry large loads of mixed fabrics and items. Normal is the preferred energy cycle. Energy Saver defaults on. To reduce cycle time, at the cost of energy savings, turn Energy Saver off. Stepped drying uses High heat initially, followed by Medium heat to drive moisture from jeans and denim. Uses a stepped drying temperature from Medium to Low for improved moisture removal and enhanced fabric care. Cycle is designed to help reduce wrinkles. Uses a stepped drying temperature from Medium to Low to gently dry delicate items. * Extended high-heat drying cycle intended to help sanitize items such as sheets and towels. This cycle is not recommended for all fabrics. For best results, this cycle should be run to completion to ensure sanitization and do not interrupt cycle. † You may select the "With Steam" setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes. This is not available on Sanitize or Delicates. On Steam Models for these cycles, Wrinkle Prevent without Steam will be run to keep optimal clothes protected/performance. Load Size Recommendations For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle. Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full. Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full. Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full. Do not overload. Items need to tumble freely. 7
