If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default. Not all features and cycles are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle. 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. Items to dry: Heavyweight items such as towels or heavy work clothes Work clothes, casual wear, mixed cottons, sheets, corduroys Cycle: Heavy Duty Normal Drying Temperature: High Dryness Level: More Normal Less Default Time: 40 Medium More 78 Normal or Less 1:18 Available Options: Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam Boost* Energy Saver Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam Boost* Energy Saver Shirts, blouses, permanent press, synthetics, lightweight items Undergarments, blouses, lingerie, performance wear Large loads of heavyweight items Wrinkle Control Delicates Sanitize Low Extra Low High More Normal Less More Normal Less More 33 28 1:10 or 70 Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Energy Saver Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Energy Saver Wrinkle Prevent† Jackets, comforters, pillows Bedding Medium More Normal Less 55 Damp Dry Signal Wrinkle Prevent† Steam Boost* Energy Saver Cycle Details: Offers stepped drying starting with High heat followed by Medium heat for enhanced fabric care and energy savings. Uses Medium heat to dry large loads of mixed fabrics and items. Normal is the preferred energy cycle. NOTE: The Electric Energy Star models listed on the cover of this manual were tested on Normal with default settings. Uses a stepped drying temperature from Medium to Low for improved moisture removal and enhanced fabric care. Uses Extra Low heat to gently dry delicate items. 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 large loads of heavyweight fabrics. 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. † On steam models, you may select the "With Steam" setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes. This is available only with High and Medium Drying Temperature settings. * On steam models only. Load Size Recommendations For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle. Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full. Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full. Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full. Do not tightly pack. Items need to tumble freely. 8
