The direction you turn the dryer dial depends on the specific model and brand of your dryer. Generally, most dryer dials or knobs can be turned clockwise (to the right) or counterclockwise (to the left) to select different settings or cycles.
Here's a general guideline:
Clockwise (to the right): Turning the dial in this direction often selects longer or more intense cycles, such as "Heavy Duty" or "High Heat."
Counterclockwise (to the left): Turning the dial in this direction usually selects shorter or lighter cycles, such as "Delicate" or "Low Heat."
To be sure about the proper direction for your specific dryer, consult the user manual or check the markings around the dial or knob for guidance. If you don't have access to the manual, you can also look up the model number online to find the relevant information.
