Dryer Times Reference Table

Drying times can be affected by many factors such as the wetness of the clothes 
(quick wash vs standard wash: quick washes leaves clothes heavier because they 

don’t extract as much water from the clothes due to reduced spinning cycles & 

speeds), materials, bulkiness, load amount/weight, etc. Below is a guide as to 
what setting should be used, if longer is needed simply reset the dryer and run the 
drier again:
