Whirlpool FRONT-LOADING GAS DRYER manual Additional Features

ManualCycles

Use Manual Cycles to select a specific amount of drying time and a drying temperature. When a Manual Cycle is selected, the ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle. You can change the actual time in the cycle by pressing the Manual Dry Time (- or +) buttons.

Timed Dry

Use this cycle to complete drying if items are still damp after an Automatic Cycle. Timed Dry is also useful for drying heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes.

Touchup

Use this setting to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as clothes packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too long.

Rapid Dry

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time.

Additional Features

Extra Care Feature

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Extra Care feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to help reduce wrinkling.

■Press the Extra Care feature to get up to 120 minutes of heat- free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.

■Stop at any time by pressing the Extra Care feature or opening the dryer door.

■For the Casual Cycle, the Extra Care feature is preset to “On.” The other Automatic Cycles will retain the Extra Care feature setting. (For example, if you select the Extra Care feature in the Normal cycle, the Extra Care feature will be on the next time you select the Normal cycle.)

NOTE: If you do not select the Extra Care feature, the dryer stops after the cool down period.

Temperature

Temperature settings are used with the Manual Cycles. Press TEMP until the desired temperature setting glows. Temperature settings cannot be used with the Automatic Cycles.

Air Only

Use the Air Only setting for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only.

Type of Load	Time*
	(Minutes)
Foam rubber - pillows, padded bras,	20 - 30
stuffed toys
Plastic - Shower curtains, tablecloths	20 - 30
Rubber-backed rugs	40 - 50
Olefin, polypropylene, sheer nylon	10 - 20

*Reset time to complete drying, if needed.

When using Air Only

■Check that coverings are securely stitched.

■Shake and fluff pillows by hand periodically during the cycle.

■Dry item completely. Foam rubber pillows are slow to dry.

NOTE: Automatic Cycles are not available when using the Air Only setting.

Cycle End Signal

The Cycle End Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Press and release the CYCLE END SIGNAL to adjust the sound level or turn off the signal.

NOTE: When the Extra Care feature is selected and the Cycle End Signal is on, an audible sound will emit every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the Extra Care feature is finished.
