ACCESSORIES

Customize your new washer and dryer with the following

genuine Whirlpool accessories. For more information on options

and ordering, contact your dealer, or visit: www.whirlpool.com.

15" Pedestal

Color matched pedestals raise

the washer and dryer to a more

comfortable working height.

The large drawer provides

convenient storage.

Available in matching colors.

Stack Kit

If space is at a premium,

the stack kit allows the dryer

to be installed on top of

the washer.

Worksurface

The worksurface bridges

the washer and dryer, and

provides a convenient working

and storage area.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Good air ow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently

dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times

and improve your energy savings. See “Installation

Instructions”.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in

good air ow.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered

by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless

of who installed the dryer.

Maintain good air ow by:

n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

n Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid

vent material.

Good Better

n Use the shortest length of vent possible.

n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces air ow.

n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system

at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be

sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with

your dryer for nal product check.

n Clear away items from in front of the dryer.

Use Auto cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Auto Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles,

drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer

shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. Use the NORMAL DRY dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

over-drying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer

n Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton

garments with wrinkle-free nish may yield better results

than those without. 100% cotton items may require

additional touching up after the Steam Cycle.

n Use of fabric softener sheet is not recommended with

Steam Cycles. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.

n It is not recommended to use Steam Cycles for items that

have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments

prior to using a Steam Cycle.

n The Quick Refresh Cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles

and reducing odors from loads consisting of one to 12

dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend,

common knits, and synthetic garments.

n The Enhanced Touch Up Cycle is best for smoothing out

wrinkles from clothes that have been left in the dryer too

long. For best results, do not overload the dryer.
