15" Pedestal Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working

height. The large drawer provides convenient storage.

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 AIRFLOW

Maintain good airflow by:

[] Cleaning your lint screen before each load. [] Replace plastic or foil vent material

with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent, Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

[] Use the shortest length of vent possible. [] Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;

each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Good airflow

Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently 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 airflow. 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 final product check.

[]

Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Automatic Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Better_

Use the Automatic 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 dryness level to provide optimal energy savings. With Manual Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to

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

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your finger tip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.

III If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,

check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See "Venting Requirements" in the Installation Instructions.

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 fingers.

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.
