CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
4"
(102 mm)
Maintain good air ow by:
n
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
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.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
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.
n
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
USE SENSOR DRY/AUTO DRY CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE
AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Sensor Dry or Auto Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During
Sensor Dry or Auto 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.

DRYER CARE
Cleaning the dryer location
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.
Cleaning the dryer interior
To clean dryer drum
1. Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the
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.
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
Clean lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint
can increase drying time.
To clean:
1. The lint screen is located on top of the dryer. 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.
2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
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.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during
removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint.
The exhaust hood is located where the dryer exhaust
exits your home.
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.
