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