CYCLE GUIDE — SENSOR CYCLES
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered. If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default. 

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

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 tightly pack. Items need to tumble freely.

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.

  On steam 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.

*  On steam models only.
