About the Wind Iron Operation

Low-temperature high-speed airflow blows over laundry during the dry cycle to smooth out wrinkles.
When you select the [FUZZY], [SPEEDY WASH & DRY], [HEAVY], or [FAVORITE] program of the
[WASH DRY] operation, or the [FUZZY] or [HEAVY] program of the [DRY] operation, the Wind Iron
operation functions automatically.
This operation cannot remove wrinkles from laundry that is half-dry or fully dry before starting the
[DRY] operation.

If the dry filter is clogged and pressure builds up inside the machine, the [WIND IRON] indicator may
remain lit instead of blinking (i.e., low-speed warm airflow operation).
If you select the [CLEAN] > [DEODORANT] program, the [WIND IRON] indicator will blink.
Reduce the drying load. However, for extremely small loads that consist mostly of items made of
cotton, add 1 or 2 more items for drying. (This will prevent the laundry from sticking to the walls of
the drum while drying.)
We recommend drying clothes that are wrinkle-resistant.
Dry thick laundry and thin laundry separately.
Tie any strings before drying. In addition, reduce the number of shirts, pajamas, and similar items.
(This prevents tangling during operation.)
Remove laundry after the spin cycle, and smooth out wrinkles caused by the spin cycle before
putting it back in to dry.
Remove laundry immediately after the drying operation finishes. (If laundry is left in the drum, the
weight of other laundry may cause wrinkles.) Otherwise, use the Soft Guard operation.
Wrinkle reduction may not be as effective on wrinkle prone items such as thin cotton shirts. In such
cases, select the [WASH DRY] > [FUZZY] program, select 30 minutes for the dry cycle, and hang dry
the items.
