What is the Delicates cycle used for?
This sensor cycle is intended for delicate or heat-sensitive fabrics that are approved for tumble drying.
It uses a gentler temperature profile and stops according to the selected dryness level and sensor readings.
Choose another cycle for: Heavy towels, bedding or items marked line dry or no tumble dry.
What this means for your load
Lower-temperature sensor cycle for heat-sensitive items. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Fabric type, load size, starting moisture and airflow affect how long sensing continues.
Check the full Samsung DVE50R5200W cycle table to compare other programs before starting.
When will it finish?
This sensor or variable cycle ends according to the selected settings and load conditions. Use the dryer's current estimate if it displays one.
Estimated energy and local cost
This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
