Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations
noted for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more
than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Do not pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.
Use Automatic 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.
† On some models, you may select the “With Steam” setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes. This is available only with High and Medium
Drying Temperature settings.
