Timed Drying Cycle
Use the Timed Drying cycle to complete drying if items are still
damp after the automatic cycle.
Timed Drying is also useful for:
■
Heavyweight and bulky items, such as bedspreads and work
clothes and large loads that require a long drying time. Set
the Temperature selector to a heat setting that matches the
care label directions.
■
Lightweight items, such as lingerie, blouses, and knits that
require a short drying time. Set the Temperature selector at
Low or Ex-Low heat.
Heavy Dry
Select this setting to evenly dry large or heavy items, such as
thick cotton bath towels or robes. Set the Temperature selector
to High heat.
DRYEL
®
fabric care system
When using the DRYEL
®
fabric care system, select the DRYEL
®
cycle setting and the DRYEL
®
temperature setting. The DRYEL
®
fabric care system, when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s directions, has been tested and approved for use
in full-size dryers built by Whirlpool Corporation.
Damp Dry
Select this setting to dry items to 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 clothes (to make pressing
easier). Choose a temperature setting based on the fabrics in
your load.
TUMBLE PRESS™ setting
Select this setting to remove wrinkles from items, such as clothes
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer
too long. Set the Temperature selector at Medium or Low heat,
depending on the fabrics in your load.
Temperature Settings
The Temperature selector allows you to select a drying
temperature that matches the fabrics in your load and provides
for the shortest, most efficient drying time.
RESOURCE SAVER™ setting
The RESOURCE SAVER™ temperature setting saves energy by
using electronic sensors to carefully monitor and regulate the
amount of heat inside the dryer. When used with the
ACCUDRY™ automatic drying cycle (see “ACCUDRY™
Automatic Drying Cycle”), the RESOURCE SAVER™ setting
provides the best drying efficiency while saving energy.
■
Use the RESOURCE SAVER™
setting with the Energy
Preferred Setting to save the most energy when drying an
average size load of lightweight to medium weight items,
such as sheets, shirts, and dresses.
■
Use the RESOURCE SAVER™ setting with the Very Dry cycle
to save energy when drying a large load of medium weight to
heavyweight items, such as work clothes or cotton jerseys.
■
We do not recommend use of the RESOURCE SAVER™
setting when drying large loads of extra heavy or bulky items,
such as jeans, thick cotton towels, or quilts. To thoroughly dry
these heavyweight items, select a High heat setting.
NOTE:
The energy-saving feature of the RESOURCE SAVER™
setting is not as effective when using the Timed Drying cycle.
SENSEON™ Drying System
The SENSEON™ drying system uses electronic sensors to detect
the amount of moisture in your load to provide the shortest drying
time. When used with the ACCUDRY™ automatic drying cycle
(see “ACCUDRY™ Automatic Drying Cycle”), the SENSEON™
drying system setting provides the shortest drying time and best
fabric care for your load.
■
The Normal setting, when used with the Energy Preferred
Setting, provides medium heat to evenly dry sturdy casual
clothes, such as khakis and cotton jerseys, in the shortest
time. When used with the Timed Drying cycle, Normal
provides medium heat for your selected drying time.
■
The High setting, when used with the Energy Preferred
Setting, provides high heat to thoroughly dry heavyweight
items, such as jeans, corduroys or work clothes, in the
shortest time. When used with the Timed Drying cycle, High
provides high heat for your selected drying time.
