Selecting The Right Cycle And Setting - Whirlpool LGR6646BW2 Use And Care Manual

Selecting the right cycle and setting
The following pages describe the cycles on
your dryer. Refer to the charts on pages g-10
for help in selecting drying cycles.
Drying guidelines
• Always follow care labels directions when
they are available.
• To dry delicate fabrics, rubber, plastic, and
heat-sensitive fabrics, always use the
Fluff Air cycle or dry these items on a line
or rack (see page 10).
• The last few minutes of all cycles are
without heat to make the load easier to
handle.
• To help reduce wrinkling, remove the load
from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops.
This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
• Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static
cling, and damage some fabrics.
• Refer to pages 17-20 for information
about:
- sorting clothes for drying
- choosing load sizes
- drying tips
- using dryer fabric softeners
- saving energy
- drying special-care items.
Cycle descriptions
Automatic Cycle(s)
Dry most loads using
the Energy Preferred
Automatic Setting (*).
Your Automatic cycle(s)
shuts off when the
selected dryness is
reached. The Cycle
Control Knob will not
move until the load is almost dry. After the
cool-down, the Knob automatically turns to an
OFF area and tumbling stops.
• If the load is drier than you like, select a
setting closer to LESS DRY the next time
you dry a similar load.
• If the load is not as dry as you like, com-
plete drying using a Timed cycle. Select a
setting closer to VERY DRY the next time
you dry a similar load.
Some models offer high heat and low heat
Automatic cycles (see page 9).
NOTES:
• Some Automatic cycles use an electronic
DRY-MISER ®control that senses the
amount of moisture in the load.
• Other Automatic cycles use an automatic
DRY-MISER control that senses the
exhaust temperature and determines the
dryness of the load.
Timed Cycle(s)
Use a Timed cycle to
complete drying if soma
items are damp after
Automatic drying. Timed
drying is also useful for:
• Delicate items and
small loads that need
a short drying time.
• Bulky items and large
long drying time.
loads that require a
NOTE: Some models offer high heat and low
heat Timed cycles (see page 9).
