Whirlpool 3XWGD5705SW0, 3XWED5705SW0 manual Additional Features

■Select the temperature from the temperature selector based on the fabrics in your load.

After drying a load, check the dryness.

■If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Delicates the next time you dry a similar load.

■If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Heavy the next time you dry a similar load.

NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”

Timed Drying cycle(s)

Select the correct Timed Drying setting and temperature for your load.

Use a longer Timed Drying setting for heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work clothes, or large loads that require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if available, to High Heat.

Use a shorter Timed Drying setting for lightweight items such as lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based on the fabrics in your load.

Air Fluff or Air Dry cycles

Use the Air Fluff or Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic or heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle Control knob to Air Fluff or Air Dry. This chart shows examples of items that can be dried using the Air Fluff or Air Dry cycle.

Additional Features

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

Heavy Dry

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

Cotton

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

Synthetics/Permanent Press

Select this cycle to dry medium to lightweight synthetic or no-iron items such as shirts, blouses, or dresses. Set the temperature selector, if available, to Low Heat.

Quick Dry

Use this cycle for drying small loads or loads that need a short drying time. Choose a High or Medium Heat setting depending on the types of fabrics being dried.

Delicates

Select this option to dry small loads or lightweight items. Set the Temperature selector, if available, to Low 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 Low Heat.

Damp Dry

Select this cycle to dry items to a damp level, or to dry items that do not require an entire drying cycle. Use the Damp Dry cycle on items such as jeans (to avoid stiffness) or cotton clothing (to make pressing easier). If your model has a Temperature selector, choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in your load.

End of Cycle Signal

■The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. If your End of Cycle signal is selectable, the signal will sound only if set to On.

■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.

Wrinkle Shield Feature

When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Shield feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load for up to

30 minutes without heat to help keep wrinkles from forming. Turn the Wrinkle Shield knob to ON to enable the Wrinkle Shield feature. A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Shield feature is on if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The signal and the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door, or when you turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.
