Cycle Guide - Non-Steam Model
The Whirlpool
®
dryer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The “What to Dry”
“How to Dry” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:
First determine what items are in the load that you are trying to dry. Use that to guide your “What to Dry” selection. Then
determine how you want the dryer to dry them by selecting the appropriate “How to Dry” selection.
To get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from your dryer, use the Automatic cycles. These cycles measure
the drying air temperature and moisture levels to turn the dryer off once the load reaches the selected dryness level. Dryer
performance and results may vary with service voltage less than 240.
