Cycle Guide - Normal Cycle
This dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load.
The “What to Dry” “How to Dry” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps: First
determine what items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your “What to
Dry” selection. Then determine how you want the dryer to dry them and select the appropriate
“How to Dry” selection. Modiers are preset for the items being dried, but can be changed if de-
sired. To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automat-
ic cycles. These cycles measure the drying air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer
off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer performance and results may vary with
service voltage less than 240 V.
