Whirlpool 8528146 manual Additional Features, Drying Rack

Additional Features

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not have all of the features described.

Towels

Select this setting to thoroughly dry extra heavy items such as mattress pads and quilts or a load of towels. Set the temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ PLUS 30/90 Minute setting

When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. WRINKLE SHIELD PLUS periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to avoid wrinkles.

Select WRINKLE SHIELD PLUS 30 Minute for 30 minutes of WRINKLE SHIELD PLUS or 90 Minute for 90 minutes of WRINKLE SHIELD PLUS. WRINKLE SHIELD PLUS periodically tumbles the load without heat for the selected time.

Heavy Dry

Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items such as thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.

DRYEL® fabric care system

When using DRYEL fabric care, select the DRYEL cycle setting and the DRYEL temperature setting. DRYEL fabric care, when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions, has been tested and approved for use in full-size dryers built by Whirlpool Corporation.

Damp Dry

Select this setting to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that do not require an entire drying cycle. Damp dry items such as jeans (to prevent stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make pressing easier). Set the temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.

TUMBLE PRESS® setting

Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items such as clothing packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long. Set the temperature selector, if available, to Medium or Low Heat depending on the fabrics in your load.

End of Cycle Signal

If your model has an End of Cycle Signal, the signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.

On some models

■The End of Cycle Signal is fixed.

OR

■The End of Cycle Signal is selectable. The signal will sound only if the signal is set to On.

Drying Rack

The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry (for example, sweaters).

To use the drying rack

1.Slide drying rack over the bottom of the dryer door opening. Push down to secure rack on frame.

2.Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.

NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.

3.Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle. Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle.

4.Push the START button.

NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use automatic cycles with the drying rack.

This chart shows examples of items that can be rack dried and the suggested cycle, temperature setting and drying time. Actual drying time will depend on the amount of moisture items hold.

*(Minutes) Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.
