Your dryer comes with two types of cycles - Sensor drying

 SENSOR DRYING CYCLES: 

  

Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings. 

The dryer senses moisture in the load or air tem perature and 

shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. 

Note that you cannot adjust the time with these cycles.

 

 TIMED DRYING CYCLES:

 

In these cycles, you can specify the drying time. Time options 

available are 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. For a complete list of

 WRINKLE  SHIELD

 

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, activate 

this option to add 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help 

reduce wrinkles from forming after the cycle completes.

STATIC REDUCE

 

This option can help reduce the build up of static cling formed 

during the drying process. When activated, this option will 

tumble with steam towards the end of the cycle to reduce 

static.

         MUTE CYCLE SIGNAL

       Use this option to turn the end of drying cycle signal on or off.

For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the “Owner’s Manual” included 

with your machine.

Fire Hazard

No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of 

oil on it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be 

dried on a clothesline or by using an Air Cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in 

death or fire.

A cycle guide for your dryer can be 

found online at 

www.whirlpool.com

. The 

document will help identify which 

cycle to choose for various load 

types as well as the default cycle 

options. For example we recommend 

using the NORMAL cycle with 

Medium temperature for cottons, 

linens and mixed-garment loads.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE

SPECIALITY CYCLE

WRINKLE CONTROL:

 

This cycle is designed to help remove or reduce wrinkles, this cycle is 

great for permanent press clothing. The dryer cycle uses low heat and 

a cool down period to keep clothes from wrinkling or creasing.

STEAM REFRESH:

 

This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from dry items. This 

cycle is great to refresh a wrinkled garment or when a load was left in 

the dryer too long.

*Not all cycles, settings or options are available with all models.
