How to Use the Splendide® DV1725X RV Dryer: Quick Start Guide for RV Owners

The Splendide® DV1725X dryer was designed specifically for RV living, combining residential-style drying performance with RV-friendly controls, compact dimensions, and smart drying technology. Whether you’re using the dryer for the first time or learning the available cycles and features, this quick guide covers the basics of operating the DV1725X.

Before Using the Dryer for the First Time

Before drying your first load of laundry, Splendide® recommends running the dryer empty on a Timed Dry cycle for 20–30 minutes.

This helps:

  • Remove any residual manufacturing odors
  • Prepare the dryer for normal use
  • Ensure proper airflow and heating operation

Step 1: Load Your Laundry Properly

For best drying results:

  • Shake out and untangle laundry before loading
  • Avoid overloading the drum
  • Leave enough room for clothes to tumble freely
  • Close the dryer door firmly before starting the cycle

Proper loading improves airflow, drying efficiency, and wrinkle reduction.

Understanding Sensor Dry vs. Timed Dry Cycles

One of the key features of the DV1725X is that it offers both Sensor Dry and Timed Dry cycles.

Sensor Dry Cycles

Sensor Dry cycles automatically stop when the selected dryness level is reached, such as:

  • Damp
  • Normal
  • Extra Dry

The dryer continuously monitors moisture levels and adjusts cycle times automatically based on load conditions.

Benefits of Sensor Dry

  • Prevents overdrying
  • Helps protect fabrics
  • Improves energy efficiency
  • Reduces unnecessary heat exposure

Timed Dry Cycles

Timed Dry cycles run for a manually selected amount of time and automatically stop when the timer expires.

The DV1725X allows drying times between:

  • 10 minutes
  • Up to 160 minutes

Timed Dry is useful for:

  • Bulky loads
  • Small touch-up loads
  • Air Fluff cycles
  • Damp items needing additional drying time

Step 2: Select a Drying Cycle

To begin drying:

  1. Rotate the Cycle Selector Knob
  2. Choose the desired drying cycle
  3. Press Start/Pause

The DV1725X includes several drying programs, including:

  • Cotton
  • Eco / Normal
  • Permanent Press
  • Delicates
  • Timed Dry
  • Touch Up
  • Active Wear
  • Towels
  • Jeans
  • Bedding
  • Shirts Quick
  • Shirts
  • Sanitize
  • Air Fluff

These cycles allow RV owners to customize drying performance for different fabric types and laundry loads.

Step 3: Customize Dry Settings

The DV1725X allows additional customization options, including:

  • Dryness Level adjustment
  • Timed Dry settings
  • Low Temperature mode
  • Anti-Creasing option
  • Delay settings
  • Buzzer notifications

The display also shows:

  • Estimated time remaining
  • Drying progress
  • Selected options and dryness levels

Step 4: Start the Dryer

Once your cycle and settings are selected:

  1. Press Start/Pause
  2. The dryer begins operation
  3. When complete, remove laundry promptly
  4. Turn the Cycle Selector to OFF

Promptly removing laundry helps minimize wrinkles and reduces the need for additional touch-up drying.

How to Pause, Change, or Cancel a Cycle

The DV1725X makes it easy to adjust cycles during operation.

To Change a Cycle

  1. Press Start/Pause
  2. Rotate the selector to the new cycle
  3. Press Start/Pause again
  4. The new cycle begins immediately

To Pause a Cycle

  • Open the dryer door to pause operation

To Cancel a Cycle

  1. Press Start/Pause
  2. Rotate the selector dial to OFF

Important Safety Tip When Adding Laundry

Splendide® includes an important safety warning for mid-cycle laundry adjustments.

When adding or removing items during operation:

  • Do not touch the inner drum surface
  • The drum may become extremely hot during use

This is especially important during high-heat cycles such as Cotton or Sanitize.

Tips for Better Drying Performance in an RV

To maximize drying performance in the DV1725X:

  • Clean the lint filter regularly
  • Avoid overloading
  • Separate heavy and lightweight fabrics
  • Use Sensor Dry whenever possible
  • Ensure proper exterior vent airflow
  • Remove laundry promptly after drying

Proper airflow and balanced loads are especially important in compact RV laundry systems.
