Dryness Level (for use with Automatic Cycles only)
You can select a different dryness level, depending on your 

load, by pressing the button for More, Normal, or Less. 

Selecting More, Normal, or Less automatically adjusts the  

dryness level at which the dryer will shut off. Once a dryness 

level is set, it cannot be changed without stopping the cycle.

Automatic cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. 

Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness 

setting.
NOTE: More Dry removes more load moisture. Normal Dry 

is used for a starting point for automatic drying. Less Dry 

removes less moisture and used for loads you may want to put 

on a hanger to complete drying.
