Additional Features

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

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.

Cotton

Select this setting 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. Choose a Medium Heat setting if available.

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 or Extra Low Heat.

TUMBLE PRESS setting

Select this setting to help 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.

Damp Dry

Select this setting 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.

Wrinkle Guard II

When you are unable to remove a load from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Guard II feature periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load for up to 30 minutes without heat to help keep wrinkles from forming. Press the Wrinkle Guard ON button to enable the Wrinkle Guard II feature. A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Guard II 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.

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.

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 Guard II 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.

Drying Rack (optional)

The drying rack is useful for machine drying items you would not necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry (for example, tennis shoes, pillows, stuffed toys).

If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

To use the drying rack

1.Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.

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 cycle and temperature to match the fabrics in your load. Items containing foam, rubber or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an air cycle. Refer to the following table.

4.Press Start. Reset cycle to complete drying, if needed.

NOTE: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not use the automatic cycle with the drying rack.
