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:
- Rotate the Cycle Selector Knob
- Choose the desired drying cycle
- 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:
- Press Start/Pause
- The dryer begins operation
- When complete, remove laundry promptly
- 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
- Press Start/Pause
- Rotate the selector to the new cycle
- Press Start/Pause again
- The new cycle begins immediately
To Pause a Cycle
- Open the dryer door to pause operation

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.
