Selecting The Right Cycle; And Setting - Whirlpool 3401083 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 9-10
for help in selecting drying cycles.
Drying guidelines
l
Always follow care labels directions when
they are available.
l
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).
l
The last few minutes of all cycles are
without heat to make the load easier to
handle.
l
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 fabrii.
l
Overdrying can cause shrinkage, static
cling, and damage some fabrics.
l
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 (a).
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.
l
If the load is drier than you like, select a
setting closer to LESS DRY the next time
you dry a similar bad.
l
If the bad is not as dry as you like, corn
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:
l
Some Automatic cycles use an
electronic
DRY-MISER@ control that senses the
amount of moisture in the
bad.
l
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 some
items are damp after
Automatic drying. Timed
drying is also useful for:
l
Delicate items and
small loads that need
a short drying time.
l
Bulky items and large loads that require a
long drying time.
NOTE: Some models offer high heat and low
heat Timed cycles (see page 9).
