Auto-Sensing
The Auto-Sensing drying cycle operation is determined by the type of cycle selected as well as the moisture sensing system, which can be
set by changing the Dryness setting. Auto-Sensing cycles are Energy Saver cycles that help prevent over-drying. When a wet load is put into
the dryer it takes a certain amount of time to reach the desired dryness level. The time will vary with load size, type of fabric, amount of
moisture in the load, air ow and the laundry room environment.
DR7: Select the Auto-Sensing cycle and Dryness setting desired. Temperature is set based on the cycle selected.
DR5: Set Cycle Selection to Auto-Sensing, the Fabric Selector to the desired cycle setting, and Auto-Dryness to the desired dryness
level.
The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cycle to choose depending on the type of laundry being dried. The cycle
settings may be modied using the Selections and Options. Cycle availability varies by model.
Cycle Information
Heavy Duty
Dry heavy items such as blankets
on this cycle.
Perm Press
Use for permanent press items and
synthetics.
Regular
Use for sturdy items like play or
work clothes.
Delicates
Dry delicate items on this cycle.
Manual
These cycles will run at the selected temperature for a set number of minutes. Select the temperature based on the fabric care label. The
time may need to be adjusted up if the items are still damp or down if the items are overdry.
DR7: Time Dry & Quick Dry - cycle time can be changed using the up and down arrow keypads.
DR5: Time Dry – choose 30 min or 60 min and set the temperature using Fabric Selector knob. Auto-Dryness setting is ignored unless
on Dry & Extended tumble is selected. No Heat 60 Min is a 60 minute no heat tumble where the fabric selection and Auto-Dry-
ness setting are ignored unless set to Dry & Extended Tumble.
Sanitize
This is a 75 minute, high heat cycle that sanitizes your laundry by killing 99.9% of common household bacteria*. It is recommended for me-
dium size loads. Not recommended for all fabric types. Be sure to follow fabric care labels and allow the cycle to complete uninterrupted.
DR7: Steam Sanitize combines the power of heat and steam to sanitize your laundry and help keep it soft and wrinkle free. Time can
be extended higher than 75 minutes by using the up and down arrow keypads.
DR5: Sanitize with high heat. Set Cycle Selection to Sanitize. Fabric Selector is ignored and will run at high heat. Auto-Dryness is
ignored unless set to Dry & Extended Tumble.
*Bacteria tested by an independent lab were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Individual results may vary.

Steam Refresh:
The Steam Refresh cycle releases wrinkles and refreshes items. It is recommended for small loads of 1-4 items. There are two preset cycles.
The default cycle applies a medium-temperature heat for 30 minutes to the load. The alternate cycle applies a high-temperature heat for 20
minutes.
DR7: By default the cycle is set to 30 minutes at medium heat. To initiate the 20 minute, high heat cycle, toggle the Temp selection to High.
DR5: Set the Cycle Selection to Steam Refresh. Setting the Fabric Selector to Delicate, Perm Press or Regular initiates the 30 min, medium
heat cycle. If the Fabric Selector is set to Heavy Duty, the 20 min, high heat cycle is initiated. Auto-Dryness is ignored unless set to Dry
& Extended Tumble.
Pet Plus (DR7 only):
The Pet Items cycle dries and refreshes bulky pet items. The default cycle is a 55-minute, high-temperature heat cycle with Anti-Static and
Steam Boost on. This cycle can be fully customized to the pet item being dried. Temperature, Time, and Options can be adjusted as needed.
You can save these cycles using the Favorites option to quickly use again.
The Pet Hair Remover cycle is used to remove pet hair from dry items. It is a set 10-minute cycle and can be used stand-alone, or as pre-
wash cycle before putting items in the washer. Anti-Static is on by default but can be turned o.
ENERGY STAR®cycle:
The DR5 and DR7 dryers are ENERGY STAR® certied. To take advantage of these energy saving options use the following cycle selections:
DR7: Regular, Near Dry, EcoDry
DR5: Auto-Sensing, Regular, Near Dry
Options:
Options vary based on the model and may not be available with all cycle selections.

as Pet Items (DR7 Medium or High heat only) and Sanitize (DR5 only). Dryness/Auto-Dryness must be set to Near Dry or Dry. Cannot be used

Hair Remover cycles. Dryness must be set to Near Dry or Dry on Auto-Sensing cycles. Cannot be used with EcoDry.
