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.
