Whirlpool 3RAWZ481E Manuale Utente

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). Choose a temperature setting based on the 
fabrics in your load.

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 to Medium or Low Heat 
depending on the fabrics in your load.

Use the Air Dry cycle for items that require drying without heat 
such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics. Set the Cycle 
Control knob to Air Dry. This chart shows examples of items that 
can be dried using the Air Dry cycle.

If the Iron Dry (Automatic) cycle is running, and the End of 
Cycle signal is set to On, a signal sounds every few minutes. 
The signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle 
Control knob to Off.

The drying rack is useful for drying items you would not 
necessarily want to tumble dry or that you would normally line dry 
(for example, sweaters).

If your model does not have a drying rack, you can order one by 
contacting the dealer from whom you purchased your dryer.

Do not remove the lint screen.

1. Open dryer door.

2. Place drying rack inside dryer drum, positioning the back wire 

on the ledge of the inner dryer back panel. Push down on 
front edge of drying rack to secure over the lint screen.

3. Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between 

the items so air can reach all the surfaces.

NOTE: Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack. 

4. Close the door.

5. Select a timed drying cycle and temperature, or an air cycle. 

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a 
clothesline or by using an air cycle.

6. Push the Start button.

NOTE: You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not use 
automatic cycles 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.

*(Minutes) Reset time to complete drying, if needed.
