Cycles
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor Dry or Timed
Preset Cycle Settings charts.
Sensor Dry Cycles
Sensor Dry Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following
Sensor Dry Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying
time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons and jeans.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.
Wrinkle Control
Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business
clothes and permanent press blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, blouses or washable
knit fabrics.
Steam Cycles
Use Steam Cycles to help smooth out wrinkles from dry items, such as clothes that have been
worn or clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. When a Steam Cycle is selected, the
estimated time remaining display shows the actual time remaining in the cycle.
NOTE: Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free
finish may yield better results than those without.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with steam cycles as it may cause
temporary staining on the clothes.
Rapid Refresh Small Load
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of one
to four dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits and synthetic
garments. In this cycle a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several
minutes of tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief
cool down. The heat level and cycle time are not adjustable.
Custom Refresh
This cycle is best for touching up clothes that have been left in the dryer too long. In this
cycle, a small amount of water is sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of
tumbling with heat. The dryer will continue to tumble with heat followed by a brief cool
down. The dry time and temperature can be adjusted for this cycle.
NOTE: Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.
