CYCLE GUIDE (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. The exact cycle times will vary, depending on load size and type. Settings shown are default settings for that cycle. Once you select a cycle, the default modifiers or the previous set modifiers for that cycle will be shown in the Display LCD. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being dried. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Please refer to garment label instructions for best care.
