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.

cycle
Uses a stepped drying temperature
from Medium to Low for improved
moisture removal and enhanced
fabric care.
Uses Extra Low heat to gently
dry delicate items.
This is a long cycle with high heat,
which has been proven to reduce
household bacteria. This cycle is
not recommended for all fabrics.
Use for large loads of heavyweight
fabrics.
