Starting your dryer

2. Loading
• Determine load size by the amount of space the load
requires rather than the weight of the load.
• Avoid overloading the dryer.
Following these instructions can help reduce your utility
bill, prolong the life of your clothes, and decrease the
likelihood of uneven drying and wrinkle.
3. To use a sensor dry cycle
• Select DRY LEVEL to adjust how dry you want
the load. As the cycle runs, the control senses the
dryness of the load and adjusts the time
automatically for the selected dryness level.
• Select the desired options.
• Press START/PAUSE

using Sensor Dry Cycles. Selecting MORE Dry or
LESS Dry automatically adjusts the sensed time
