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 overload. Items need to tumble freely.
Use Auto 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. 
†  Or Wrinkle Shield with Steam (on some models). Wrinkle Shield with Steam is available only with High and Medium Drying Temperature settings.
