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. Modifiers are preset for the items being dried, but can be changed if desired. To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automatic 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.
| Items to Dry: | “What to Dry”: | “How to Dry”: | Description: |
| T-shirts, Lingerie, Blankets, White Napkins, Athletic, Dish cloths | Regular, Delicate, Bulky Items, Whites, Colors, Towels | Normal | Automatic Sensor Cycle stops when dryness level is reached. |
NOTE: Government energy certifications for this model were based on the Regular + Normal Cycle, Highest temperature setting, Normal Dryness Level, EcoBoost™ On. The as-shipped defaults were the same as the Government Energy Certification Settings except the default Temperature Setting of Medium was adjusted to the Highest temperature setting. Cycles that are available for post-sale download may use more energy than the Normal cycle, upon which the energy use rating of this dryer is based upon.
