Check Your Vent System for Good Air Flow
Maintain good air ow by:
■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■ Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Use the shortest length of vent possible.
■ Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
Good Better
Good air ow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to efciently
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.
■ Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ 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.
■ Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
Use Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During
Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles, drying air temperature or 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. The Energy Preferred cycle will 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.

Using Your Dryer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this dryer.
Before using your dryer, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth
to remove dust from storing and shipping.
1. Clean the lint screen
3. Select the desired cycle
Clean the lint screen before each load. Pull the lint screen out of
its holder. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or
wash screen to remove lint. Push the lint screen rmly back into
place. For additional cleaning information, see “Dryer Care”.
2. Load the dryer
Place laundry in the dryer. Close the door. Do not tightly pack
the dryer; clothes should be able to tumble freely.
NOTE: Your model may have a different door than the one
shown. Some models have drop down doors.
Select the desired cycle for your load. See the Cycle Guide
for more information about each cycle.
AUTOMATIC DRY/SENSOR DRY CYCLES
You can select a different dryness level, depending on your
load, by turning the knob to dryness level.
Selecting Very Dry, ENERGY PREFERRED, or Less Dry
automatically adjusts the dryness level at which the dryer will
shut off. Once a dry level is set, it cannot be changed without
stopping the cycle.
AUTOMATIC DRY/SENSOR DRY cycles give the best drying in
the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load
size, and dryness setting.

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until
stain is removed.
2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim
blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the
dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and
will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside
out to avoid drum staining.
Turn the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL knob to select the desired
setting (On or Off). The End of Cycle Signal produces an
audible sound when the drying cycle is nished. Promptly
removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.

Dryer Care
CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From inside the dryer cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a qualied servicer.
From the exhaust vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked
by lint can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint off the
screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen
to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would
block the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes
clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
IMPORTANT:
■
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause
overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
■
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
“Venting Requirements.”
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build
up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying
times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before
your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged
if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
For direct-wired dryers:
1. Turn off power at fuse or breaker box.
2. Disconnect wiring.
3. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
4. Use tape to secure dryer door.
For gas dryers:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to dryer.
2. Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.
3. Disconnect gas supply line pipe and remove ttings
attached to dryer pipe.
4. Cap the open fuel supply line.
5. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
6. Use tape to secure dryer door.
Reinstalling the Dryer
Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level,
and connect the dryer.
VACATION, STORAGE,
AND MOVING CARE
Non-Use or Storage Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will
be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. (For gas dryers only): Close shut off valve to gas supply
line.
3. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
Moving Care
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
3. Use tape to secure dryer door.
CHANGING THE DRUM LIGHT
(ON SOME MODELS)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the
back wall of the dryer. Using a 1/4" nut driver or socket
wrench, remove the screw located in the lower right-hand
corner of the cover. Remove the cover.
3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with
a 10-watt appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and
secure with the screw.
4. Plug into a grounded outlet or reconnect power.
