Whirlpool 24 Inch Electric Dryer Cycle Guide - Manual

Automatic Cycles
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered.
If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.
Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level.
Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the dryer drum with 3–4 items, not more
than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Do not pack tightly. Items need to tumble freely.
