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. The default times mentioned below are for reference only. The exact cycle times will vary, depending on the load size and type. Items to dry: Cycle: Drying Dryness Default Temperature: Level: Time: Available Options: Cycle Details: Heavyweight items such as towels or heavy work clothes Work clothes, casual wear, mixed cottons, sheets, corduroys Shirts, blouses, permanent press, synthetics, lightweight items Undergarments, blouses, lingerie, performance wear Large loads of heavyweight items Heavy Duty High Medium High Medium Low Normal High Medium High Medium Low Wrinkle Control High Medium High Medium Low Delicates Sanitize High Medium High Medium Low High More Normal Less More Normal Less More Normal Less More Normal Less More Jackets, comforters, pillows Bulky Items High Medium High Medium Low More Normal Less Shirts, blouses, permanent press, synthetics, lightweight items Regular High Medium High Medium Low More Normal Less White, sturdy fabrics Jeans and denims Large loads of cotton towels, heavyweight items Whites Jeans Towels High Medium High Medium Low High Medium High Medium Low High Medium High Medium Low More Normal Less More Normal Less More Normal Less 1:06 1:27 0:47 0:35 1:42 Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent Reduce Static* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Extra Power 0:59 0:57 0:52 0:59 1:07 Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Wrinkle Prevent† Reduce Static* Steam* Cycle Signal Extra Power Offers stepped drying starting with Medium High heat followed by Medium heat for enhanced fabric care and energy savings. Uses Medium High heat to dry large loads of mixed fabrics and items. Use Normal cycle to increase energy savings versus Regular cycle by using a slightly lower heat level. Uses a stepped drying temperature from Medium to Low for improved moisture removal and enhanced fabric care. Uses 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. Uses Medium High heat to dry large loads of mixed fabrics and items. When choosing between Regular and Normal cycle, for optimal energy savings, use Normal. For optimal time savings, use Regular. Uses High heat to dry large loads of white, sturdy fabrics and items. Stepped drying uses Medium High heat initially, followed by Medium heat to drive moisture from jeans and denim. This is a long cycle with High heat. This cycle is not recommended for all fabrics. Use for large loads of heavyweight fabrics. †On steam models, you may select the "+Steam" setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes. This is available only with High, Medium 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. Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full. 8 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 tightly pack. Items need to tumble freely.
