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.

Uses Medium heat to dry large loads of mixed fabrics and items. Normal is the preferred energy cycle 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
