Cycle Guide — Normal Cycle
This dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The "What to Dry"
"How to Dry" layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps: First determine what items are in the load
that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your "What to Dry" selection. Then determine how you want the dryer to
dry them and select the appropriate "How to Dry" selection. Modifiers are preset for the items being dried, but can
be changed if desired.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automatic cycles. These cycles
