Whirlpool WED8500DC 业主指南

If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less 

dry or more dry than you would like, you may change the 

default settings to increase or decrease the default dryness 

level.
Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to  

different installations, environmental conditions, or personal  

preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your  

Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are  

5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:

0  Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time. 

1  Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.

2  Factory preset dryness level.

3  Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

4  Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer  

is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode 

(power is off) to adjust the default settings.

1.  Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS  

for 6 seconds. 

2.  Touch DRYNESS to select the dryness level shown in 

the time display: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. 

3.  Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level  

setting.

USING THE DRYING RACK

To obtain a drying rack for your dryer, order by calling  

1-877-944-7566. You will need your model and serial  

number and the purchase date. Remove and discard any 

packing material before use. 
Use the Drying Rack for items that you do not want to 

tumble dry, such as sweaters and tennis shoes. When you 

use the drying rack, the drum continues to turn, but the 

rack remains stationary.
The drying rack is intended for use with the Manual Dry/

Timed Dry cycles only. The drying rack cannot be used 

with Automatic cycles.
To use the drying rack:
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the lint screen.
1.  Open dryer door.

USING THE DRYING RACK (cont.)

the holes in the dryer door opening and press down 

fully into holes. Rest the rear support on the dryer back 

ledge.

 
3.  Place wet items on top of the drying rack. Allow space 

around items for air to circulate. The drying rack does 

not move, but the drum will rotate; be sure to leave 

adequate clearance between items and the inside of 

the dryer drum. Make sure items do not hang over the 

edges or between drying rack grille.

4.  Close the door.
5.  Select a Timed Dry/Air Only, or Low Temperature cycle. 

Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried 

on a clothesline or by using the Air Only setting.

6.  When the cycle is selected, the Estimated Time 

Remaining display shows the default time. You can 

change the actual time in the cycle by increasing or 

decreasing the cycle time.

7.  Start the dryer.
NOTE: Check the lint screen and remove any lint 

accumulated from items dried on the drying rack after the 

cycle is finished.
