Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get High heat for heavyweight mixed loads,
cotton towels or jeans.
Bulky Items
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying large items that
require very long drying times such as jackets, comforters and
pillows. Rearrange the load halfway through the dryer cycle. This
will aid in the drying process.
Normal
Use this cycle to get Medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes and sheets.
Casual
Use this cycle to get Low heat for drying no-iron fabrics such as
sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press
blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get Low heat to gently dry items such as
washable knit fabrics.
Super Delicate
Use this cycle to get Extra-Low heat to gently dry items such as
lingerie.

*Estimated Time with Dryness Level (medium) setting. Time will
vary depending on load type and load size.

remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the
cycle by pressing the DRY TIME up or down buttons.

Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight
and bulky items such as bedspreads and work clothes.

Timed Dry on a Low temperature setting.

drying time.
