CYCLE GUIDE — SENSOR CYCLES

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. Not all features and cycles are available on all models.
Not all settings and options are available on each cycle. Default cycle times are estimated in minutes.

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 Sensor 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. Use Sensor/Eco cycles on their default settings for optimal energy

savings.
