Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the wet 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.
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.
