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

Cycle Details :
Extended high-heat drying cycle intended
to help sanitize items such as bedding,
towels, and baby wear. This cycle is not
recommended for all fabrics. For best results,
run cycle to completion, do not interrupt.
Offers stepped drying starting with High heat,
followed by Medium heat for enhanced fabric
care and energy savings.
Stepped drying uses High heat initially,
followed by Medium heat to drive moisture
from jeans and denims.
This is a long cycle with High heat to
thoroughly dry towels. This cycle is not
recommended for all fabrics. Use for large
loads of heavyweight fabrics such as cotton
towels.
Uses Medium heat to dry large loads of mixed
fabrics and items. Normal is the preferred
energy cycle.
Uses a stepped drying temperature from
Medium heat to Low heat for improved
moisture removal and enhanced fabric care.
Use for drying large, bulky items; do not
overfill dryer drum. Partway through the cycle,
the signal will sound to indicate when it is time
to rearrange items for
optimal drying.
Uses Medium heat to dry sheets and
lightweight linens.
Use for drying active wear and performance
fabrics that require
special care.
Uses Extra Low heat to gently dry delicate
items.
