Dryer settings are options on a clothes dryer that control the heat and drying time for different types of fabrics. Common settings include normal, delicate, and heavy duty. Each setting is designed to optimize drying while preventing damage to clothes. For example, the delicate setting uses lower heat to protect fragile fabrics. Additionally, some dryers have specific cycles for items like towels or sportswear. These cycles adjust the drying time and temperature to ensure effective drying without shrinking or damaging the fabric. Understanding these settings helps users care for their laundry properly and extend the life of their garments.
