Whirlpool WED6600V Use and Care Guide - Page 21

Drying tips ■ Follow care label directions when they are available. ■ If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package instructions. ■ To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is especially important for permanent press, knits and synthetic fabrics. ■ Avoid drying heavy work clothes together with lighter fabrics. This could cause overdrying of lighter fabrics and lead to increased shrinkage or wrinkling. Cycle tips ■ Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings. ■ Refer to the Automatic or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the "Cycles" section) for a guide to drying various loads. ■ Drying temperature and dryness level are preset when you choose an Automatic Cycle. You can select a different dryness level, depending on your load, by pressing Dryness and choosing More, Normal, Less or Damp. NOTE: You cannot use the Time Adjust and you cannot choose a Temperature with the Automatic Cycles. ■ If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, press the Time Adjust up or down arrows. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing Temp until the desired temperature is selected. NOTE: You cannot choose a dryness level with Timed Cycles. Status Lights Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights. Cool Down The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling. Done The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. WRINKLE SHIELD™ Setting The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting light illuminates when this option is selected. This indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. Indicator lights Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options and Cycle Signal settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time remaining. Cycles Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See the Automatic, Steam or Timed Preset Cycle Settings Charts. Sensing ■ In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet item is detected. ■ In the Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the beginning of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle. Wet The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of an Automatic Cycle if a wet item is detected. ■ In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting indicators illuminate, if selected. ■ In a Timed Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate. ■ In the Enhanced Touch Up or the Quick Refresh Steam Cycles, the Wet light comes on after the water has been sprayed into the drum, 5-6 minutes into the cycle. The Wet light illuminates until the dryer goes into Cool Down with 1 minute of time remaining. Damp The Damp light illuminates in an Automatic Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry. Damp Dry Signal beeps, if selected. See "Options." Automatic Cycles Automatic Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Automatic Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying. Heavy Duty Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cottons and jeans. Normal Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes. Casual Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press blends. Delicate Use this cycle to get extra-low heat to gently dry items such as lingerie, blouses or washable knit fabrics. 21
