CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE

A cycle guide for your dryer can be
found online at
www.whirlpool.com. The
document will help identify which
cycle to choose for various load
types as well as the default cycle
options. For example we recommend
using the NORMAL cycle with
Medium temperature for cottons,
linens and mixed-garment loads.
For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the "Owner's Manual" included
with your machine.

this option to add 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help
reduce wrinkles from forming after the cycle completes.
STATIC REDUCE
This option can help reduce the build up of static cling formed
during the drying process. When activated, this option will
tumble with steam towards the end of the cycle to reduce
static.
MUTE CYCLE SIGNAL

SPECIALITY CYCLE
WRINKLE CONTROL:
This cycle is designed to help remove or reduce wrinkles, this cycle is
great for permanent press clothing. The dryer cycle uses low heat and
a cool down period to keep clothes from wrinkling or creasing.
STEAM REFRESH:
This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from dry items. This
cycle is great to refresh a wrinkled garment or when a load was left in
the dryer too long.
