Cycle control knob Automatic Cycles Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following "Automatic Preset Cycle Settings" chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to get High heat for heavy fabrics such as cotton towels or bedspreads. Normal Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes. Bulky Items Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require very long drying times, such as jackets, comforters and pillows. Rearrange the load halfway through the dryer cycle. This will aid in the drying process. Casual Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press blends. Delicate Use this cycle to get Extra Low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie or washable knit fabrics. 15
