Select cycle
Select the desired cycle for your load. See "Cycle Guide"
for more information about each cycle.
AUTOMATIC DRY Cycles
You can select a different dryness level, depending on your
load, by turning the knob to dryness level.
Selecting Very Dry, ENERGY PREFERRED, or Less Dry
automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will
shut off. Once a dry level is set, it cannot be changed without
stopping the cycle.
AUTOMATIC DRY cycles give the best drying in the shortest
time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and
dryness setting.
NOTE: Very Dry removes more load moisture. ENERGY
PREFERRED is used for a starting point for AUTOMATIC DRY
cycles. Choose ENERGY PREFERRED (*) for optimal energy
savings. Less Dry removes less moisture and is used for loads
you may want to put on a hanger to complete drying.
