Use Automatic 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. Use Automatic/Eco cycles on their default settings for optimal
energy savings.

Cycle Details:
Extended high-heat drying cycle
intended to help sanitize items such
as bedding, towels, and baby wear.
This cycle is not recommended for all
fabrics. For best results, run cycle to
completion, do not interrupt.
Offers stepped drying starting with
High heat, followed by Medium heat
for enhanced fabric care and energy
savings.
Stepped drying uses High heat initially,
followed by Medium heat to drive
moisture from jeans and denims.
This is a long cycle with High heat to
thoroughly dry towels. This cycle is not
recommended for all fabrics. Use for
large loads of heavyweight fabrics such
as cotton towels.
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 heat to Low heat for
improved moisture removal and
enhanced fabric care.
Use for drying large, bulky items; do not
overfill dryer drum. Partway through the
cycle, the signal will sound to indicate
when it is time to rearrange items for
optimal drying.
Uses Medium heat to dry sheets and
lightweight linens.
Use for drying active wear and
performance fabrics that require
special care.
Uses Extra Low heat to gently dry
delicate items.
