CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW
Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to eciently
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. Blocked or crushed vents as well as
improper venting installation will reduce air ow and
dryer performance.
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. To clean or repair venting, contact
a venting specialist.
Maintain good air ow by:
■ Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
■ Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
■ Using the shortest length of vent possible.
■ Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces air ow.
Good Better
■ Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
■ Removing 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.
■ Clearing away items from the front of the dryer.
USE SENSING CYCLES FOR BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Use the Sensing Cycles to get the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Sensing Cycles, drying
air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts o
when the load reaches the selected dryness. Choose Normal cycle to save energy.
With Timed Cycles, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
overdrying. Use Timed Cycles for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

Cleaning the lint screen
Non-use, storage, and moving care
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 o 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:
■ 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 o the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See the
“Venting Requirements” section 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
o while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every six months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a
residue buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint o 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.
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. Clean lint screen. See the “Cleaning the lint
screen” section.
Moving Care
For power supply cord-connected dryers:
1. Unplug the power supply cord.

KENMORE APPLIANCE WARRANTY
PROTECTION AGREEMENTS
Master Protection Agreements
Congratulations on making a smart purchase. Your new Kenmore®
product is designed and manufactured for years of dependable
operation.
But like all products, it may require preventive maintenance or
repair from time to time. That’s when having a Master Protection
Agreement can save you money and aggravation.
The Master Protection Agreement also helps extend the life
of your new product. Here’s what the Agreement* includes:
Parts and labor needed to help keep products operating properly
under normal use, not just defects. Our coverage goes well
beyond the product warranty. No deductibles, no functional
failure excluded from coverage—real protection.
Expert service by a force of more than 10,000 authorized Sears
service technicians, which means someone you can trust will be
working on your product.
Unlimited service calls and nationwide service, as often as you
want us, whenever you want us.
Replacement of your covered product if four or more product
failures occur within twelve months.
Product replacement if your covered product can’t be fixed.
Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your request –
no extra charge.
Fast help by phone – we call it Rapid Resolution – phone support
from a Sears representative on all products. Think of us as a
“talking owner’s manual.”
Power surge protection against electrical damage due
to power uctuations.
Rental reimbursement if repair of your covered product takes
longer than promised.
25% discount o the regular price of any non-covered repair
service and related installed parts.
Once you purchase the Agreement, a simple phone call is all
that it takes for you to schedule service. You can call anytime
day or night, or schedule a service appointment online.
The Master Protection Agreement is a risk free purchase. If you
cancel for any reason during the product warranty period, we
will provide a full refund. Or, a prorated refund anytime after the
product warranty period expires. Purchase your Master Protection
Agreement today! Some limitations and exclusions apply.
