Additional Features

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may not
have all of the features described.
Heavy/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 type 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 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. 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.
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 avoid wrinkles. 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 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 a timed drying cycle and temperature, or select 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: The rack must be removed for normal tumbling. Do not
use the automatic cycle 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.
