Cycles - Whirlpool WED6600VU - 29-in Electric Dryer Use And Care Manual

Drying tips
• Follow care label directions when they are available.
• If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
• To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon
as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.
• Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics.
This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to
increased shrinkage or wrinkling.
Cycle tips
• Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
• Refer to the Automatic or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart
(in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads.
• Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when
you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a
different dryness level, depending on your load, by
pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less or
Damp.
NOTE: You cannot use the Time Adjust and you cannot
choose a Temperature with the Automatic Cycles.
• If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle,
press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the
temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the
desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed
Cycles.

Automatic Cycles
Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you
are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings
chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended
temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and
automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads,
cottons and jeans.
Normal
Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such
as work clothes.
Casual
Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as
sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press
blends.
Delicate
Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as
lingerie, blouses or washable knit fabrics.
