Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

U ses Medium heat to dry large loads of mixed fabrics and items. Normal is the preferred energy cycle. U ses a stepped drying temperature from Medium to Low for improved moisture removal and enhanced fabric care. U ses Extra Low heat to gently dry delicate items. T his 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 large loads of heavyweight fabrics.
