CYCLE GUIDE — SENSOR CYCLES
Senses moisture in the load and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. The dry temperature shown is the default
temperature. This setting can be modified on some cycles but is not retained for future drying with this cycle. The dryness level shown is the
default dryness setting. This setting can be changed on some cycles and will be retained for future drying with this cycle. Available options
shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Sensing cycles. These cycles measure the drying air
temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. For electric models, dryer performance
and results may vary with service voltage less than 240.
