Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the 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.

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.
Selecting the Drying Temperature
A High heat setting may be used for drying heavyweight items
such as towels and work clothes.
A Low to Medium heat setting may be used for drying
medium-weight items such as sheets, blouses, dresses,
underwear, permanent press fabrics, and some knits.
Use a no heat (air only) setting for foam, rubber, plastic,
or heat-sensitive fabrics.
Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.
NOTE:
If you have questions about drying temperatures for
various loads, refer to the care label directions.
