Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get High heat for heavy fabrics such as cotton
towels or bedspreads.
Normal
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that
require very long drying times, such as jackets, comforters and
pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp & Dry signal sounds.
This will aid in the drying process.
Casual
Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as
sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press
blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get Extra Low heat to gently dry items such as
lingerie or washable knit fabrics.
Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
*Estimated Time with Dryness Level (medium) setting. Time will
vary depending on load type and load size.
Manual Cycles

a drying temperature. When a Manual Cycle is selected, the
Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time
remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the
cycle by pressing MORE TIME or LESS TIME.
Timed Dry
Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an
Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight
and bulky items such as bedspreads and work clothes.

Timed Dry on a Low temperature setting.
Touch Up
Use this setting to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as
clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in
the dryer too long.

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short
drying time.
