Whirlpool Top-Load Dryer 用户手册

4. Select a temperature setting on models with a Temp/Fabric 

selector. The cycle descriptions include temperature setting 
suggestions.
NOTE: The temperature selector is part of the Cycle Control 
knob on some models.

5. Select the End of Cycle Signal, if available. The signal is 

helpful when drying permanent press or synthetics. Promptly 
remove these items from the dryer at the end of the cycle to 
help keep wrinkles from forming.
On some models you may have:

■

An automatic End of Cycle Signal that will sound when 
cycle is completed.

■

An End of Cycle Signal that can be adjusted. Turn the 
selector to the desired volume.

■

An End of Cycle Signal that is part of the Start button. Turn 
the Start button to ON or OFF.

6. Select the desired option. See “Additional Features.”
7. Press the Start button.

You can stop your dryer anytime during a cycle.

Open the dryer door or turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
NOTE: The Cycle Control knob should point to an Off area when 
the dryer is not in use.

1. Close the door.
2. Select a new cycle and temperature (if desired).
3. Press the Start button.

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few 
minutes of all cycles to make the load easier to handle.

■

Follow care label directions when they are available.

■

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package 
instructions.

■

Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops, to 
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent 
press, knits and synthetic fabrics.

■

Dry most loads using the Energy Preferred setting, if available 
on your dryer.

■

Use a High heat setting for drying heavyweight items such as 
towels and work clothes.

■

Use a Medium heat setting for drying medium-weight items 
such as sheets, underwear, permanent press fabrics and 
some knits.

■

Use a Low heat setting for drying lightweight items such as 
lingerie, blouses, dresses and some knits.

■

Use a no-heat (air) setting for rubber, plastic or heat-sensitive 
fabrics.

■

Line dry bonded or laminated fabrics.

NOTE: If you have questions about drying temperatures for 
various loads, refer to the care label directions. If you are unsure 
of the temperature to select for a load, select a lower setting 
rather than a higher setting.

This manual covers several different models. Your dryer may vary 
from the model shown and may not have all of the cycles and 
features described.

Use your Automatic cycle to dry most loads. Your dryer has a 
control that senses the moisture level in the load and shuts off 
when the load reaches the selected dryness.
On some models

■

Automatic Dry (High Heat) and (Low Heat)

Select the temperature by moving the Cycle Control knob 
toward Very Dry for bigger or heavier loads or Less Dry for 
smaller or lighter loads.  

■

Auto Dry

Select the temperature from the temperature selector based 
on the fabrics in your load.

After drying a load in any of the Automatic cycles, check the 
dryness.

■

If the load is drier than you like, select a setting closer to Less 
Dry the next time you dry a similar load.

■

If a load is not as dry as you like, complete drying using a 
timed cycle. Select a setting closer to Very Dry the next time 
you dry a similar load.

NOTE: Drying time varies with an Automatic cycle. The type of 
fabric, the size of the load, and the dryness selected affect drying 
time. See “Drying, Cycle and Temperature Tips.”

Select the correct Timed Drying setting and temperature for your 
load.
Use a longer Timed Drying setting for heavyweight and bulky 
items, such as bedspreads and work clothes, or large loads that 
require a long drying time. Set the temperature selector, if 
available, to High Heat. 
Use a shorter Timed Drying setting for lightweight items such as 
lingerie or knits. Set the temperature selector, if available, based 
on the fabrics in your load.
