Cycles
Timed cycles run for the selected time.
SANITIZE This option reduces certain types of bacteria including: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The anti-bacterial process occurs when high heat is
used during a portion of the drying cycle; cool down also will be longer to protect you from a hot
garment.

as blankets, comforters, jackets, and small rugs.
